CONTINUED WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF A LAND BASED NURSERY ON SUMMERLAND KEY, FL. THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF THE NURSERY WILL BE TO DEMOSTRATE THE ABILITY TO PRODUCE CORALS FOR OUT PLANTING IN A LARGE SCALE SYSTEM. CURRENTLY THERE ARE NO LARGE SCALE SYSTEMS BEING USED FOR DEMONSTRATION THAT WILL THE LARGER PRODUCTION OF CORAL IS NEEDED IF WE ARE GOING TO SAVE OUR REEFS. THE INFRASTRUCTURE HAS BEEN STARTED WITH THE ENTIRE SYSTEM HAS BEEN BUILT TOTALLY OFF GRID WITH PUMPS AND THE ENTIRE SYSTEM BEING RUN ON SOLAR POWER. THE SYSTEM HAS BEEN DESIGNED SO THAT THERE IS NO NEED FOR WATER FROM THE CITY. THIS WILL CHANE AS WE GROW. SOME PUBLIC EDUCATION HAS BEEN DEVELOPED AND SOME SSHOOLS HAVE VISITED BOTH IN PERSON AND VIRTUALLY. VOLUNTEER EDUCATORS HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED TO HELP WITH DEVELOPING AND EDUCATION PLAN. COARLS HAVE BEEN PLACE IN THE SYSTEM SO THEY CAN GROW LARGE ENOUGH FOR MICRO-GRAGMENTATION. WE HAVE MET WITH THE DONORS AND LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUED SUPPORT.

CONTAINER. ALL THE EQUIPMENT FOR THE UNIT TO BE TRANSPORTED AND SET UP IN MOOREA CONTINUED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. ALL PUMPS AND PIPING WERE INSTALLED IN THE CRU SO WHEN IT ARRIVED IN MOOREA IT COULD BE SET UP IN 2WEEKS AND HAVE WATGER FLOWING AND CORALS BEING MICRO-FRAGMENTED. THOURGHOUT THE PROCESS CONTINUED CONVERSATIONS ALLOWED THE SYSTEM TO BE ADJUSTED FOR THEIR NEEDS. THE CRU WAS DESIGNED TO PRODUCE SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 10,000 AND 20,000. DELIVERY IS SCHEDULED FOR 2023.
