A staff favorite! Enjoy the sand bottom gullies and the corals that pepper them. The Nature Foundation used this site as part of their Coral Restoration project in 2020 where they successfully out planted several Acropora coral fragments, some of which were Hurricane Irma survivors.
After Hurricane Irma, especially the coral species ‘Staghorn’ almost totally disappeared from St. Maarten reefs due to the massive storm surge and the indirect impacts of the hurricane. “Only two fragments were left in our coral nursery and 95% of the mother colonies on the reefs were wiped out. Fortunately, we were able to save one viable staghorn fragment, which now have turned into ten colonies...” explained Melanie Meijer zu Schlochtern Manager at the Nature Foundation St. Maarten.
