However, in many areas, including\u00a0<b>Phu Quoc<\/b>, coral reefs are facing severe degradation due to climate change, bleaching events, and irresponsible human activities such as exploitation and tourism. Therefore, their restoration and conservation have become more critical than ever.<\/p>\n<p>To proactively address this challenge,\u00a0<b>OnBird Phu Quoc<\/b>\u00a0has collaborated with marine biologists to launch a\u00a0<b>Coral Nursery Project<\/b>\u00a0in the South of the island, starting in May 2025.
