Fiji is doubling down on its commitment to protect marine ecosystems and redefine tourism! 🐠 The island nation just unveiled its second Counting Coral Sculptural Coral Gene Bank on Vomo Island, blending art, science, and sustainability in one wave-making move.
Deputy Prime Minister Viliame Gavoka called it a “game-changer” for eco-conscious travel. 🌏 The two coral gene banks will nurture over 500 parent corals, acting as underwater classrooms to teach visitors about reef conservation while showcasing their vibrant beauty. 🎨🔬
🏝️ “This isn’t just about tourism – it’s about legacy,” Gavoka said. With coral reefs facing climate threats, Fiji’s approach turns tourists into allies. Snorkelers can now explore living art installations that literally help save marine biodiversity. 🤿✨
