WORKSHOP - CORAL RESTORATION IN MALDIVES
SECOND EDITION
24Nov - 3 Dec 2018

The University of Milano-Bicocca, in partnership with Corales de Paz, are
really keen to give their global contribution to the Coral Reef restoration
due to the dramatic effects that Climate Change is bringing all over our
oceans.

At this purpose, we organize for all those who want to join us in this
important scientific mission in its SECOND EDITION, a 10-day intensive
full-time 80 hours’ hands-on, in-water practical program. The workshop
touches on current best practices, appropriate design, logistics and
evaluation of a restoration project and the program will be divided into a
series of classroom lessons and field activities. Lessons will be held at
the MaRHE Center (www.marhe.unimib.it) in Magoodhoo Island, Faafu Atoll,
MALDIVES.

All field activities will be carried out on SCUBA diving and snorkelling
equipment.



Content of the workshop

The course will consist of a series of lectures and field activities held
by international researchers with experience working in tropical marine
environments.
