If we don\u2019t act now, 90% of the world\u2019s coral reefs could be gone by 2050. This would have devastating consequences for biodiversity and people worldwide. But for Phu Quoc it can come sooner by 2030 \u2013 2040.<\/p>\n

The V\u0169ng B\u1ea7u Coral Garden is an initiative undertaken by OnBird Phu Quoc aimed at restoring a degraded coral reef in Vung Bau Bay, one of the most pristine locations in Phu Quoc. Launched in early November 2024, OnBird Phu Quoc employs its own-developed bio-rock technique for coral planting. Our hope is that this project will revitalize the heavily degraded coral reef, transforming it into a thriving coral garden that can supply juvenile coral species for the restoration of other reefs throughout Phu Quoc.<\/p>\n

In 2024, heat waves are significantly impacting coral reefs worldwide including Phu Quoc, causing a major global coral bleaching event, considered the fourth of its kind since 1998, with a large portion of the world\u2019s coral reefs experiencing bleaching-level heat stress due to rising ocean temperatures brought on by marine heatwaves; this bleaching can lead to coral death if temperatures remain high, impacting marine ecosystems and the livelihoods that depend on them.<\/p>\n

Due to prolonged heat stress within a month led to the death of a vast coral area in Phu Quoc from OnBird\u2019s observation. OnBird stands out with our effort to recover some coral areas. If you are interested in this work and would like to know further information about coral restoration works by OnBird in Phu Quoc Island, don\u2019t hesitate to contact us.<\/p>\n

OnBird has developed its proprietary bio-rock design, which facilitates the implantation of coral species onto the structure. This innovative approach allows the coral to establish roots that securely adhere to the rock indefinitely. With this bio-rock technique we don\u2019t need to use plastic, nails or glue but can still implant either small and large piece of corals.<\/p>\n

On top of that OnBird develops innovative solutions aimed at restoring coral reefs reef-building coral species to ensure sustainable growth.<\/p>\n
