Schedule
Meet at the shop.
Experience a special "Reef Check" to assess the health of coral reefs, made possible by our lagoon staffed with coral professionals certified by marine scientists. This unique opportunity allows you to verify the vitality of the reefs firsthand.
Shop staff will explain the basics and current state of coral in easy-to-understand language.
You will visit an on-land coral cultivation facility where corals from Onna Village, collected with special permission, are spreading their branches.
In this environmentally friendly workshop, you will create coral seedlings by attaching corals to original sticks that you have decorated using crayons and colored pencils made from rice.
The coral seedlings you create will be nurtured on an intermediate shelf in the "Coral Farm" and later planted by divers. This tour allows you to help sustain Okinawa's vibrant marine life by cultivating your own coral seedlings!
As a memento of your coral seedling creation, you will receive a Seedling Creation Certificate! It will be provided either digitally or on fair-trade paper.
