Coral Farms in Timor Leste
Donation protected
Hi my name is scott. I have worked in Asia for many years. I am particulary interested in coral farms and sustainable oceans. We have an organization in Timor Leste trying to develop coral farms but we do not have the resources we need to scale up.
We are looking for funds to establish coral tables in the Timor Sea and export the coral to hobbyists and locations trying to restart "bleached" coral. Currently we have thirty coral tables in the ocean and official approval from the Ministry of Fisheries in Timor Leste.
We employ 5 local staff and are looking to expand and grow with additional tables, staff and training. Our latest coral update report is here and I encourage you to review this to see our activities.
This coral restoration project, we have been working closely with the local fisherman and communities to help evaluating the corals population and find the location with less corals habitat. We recruited 4 fisherman and we would hire more in order to create job opportunity in local communities.
We hope continued support from locally and all across the globes to make this projects continues in restoring the corals for sustainability marine life presently and in future. We target 500 tables by end of the 2023 with the budget of $8,000 USD. Together we can! These funds will be primarily used to grow and build coral tables and educate to build a sustainable ocean business
PS: We will name the table for every donor as appreciation for donations above $90 and we will send the quarterly update via email on your coral growth progressions. If you donate $90 or more then we will create a permanent concrete sign with your name or logo on it similar to Mr Potenzo's below.
Thank you for your support.
