At DEMA today the Reefball Foundation (www.reefball.org) announced a critical next phase of work in the Cayman Islands. Together with the Cayman Department of the Environment, Reefball.org is implementing a full scale repropigation of shallow water habitats. "We are thrilled to have financial support from the Spurlino Foundation to make this project possible," said Reefball.org’s Preisdent Todd Barber; "I will fly to the Cayman’s straight after DEMA to oversee our work in developing a mangrove nursery, the implementation of mangrove planting, and the installation of our reef balls for continued coral propagation at Cemetery Reef." The Reefball.org team, who just recently returned from a successful installation of over 100 reef balls in the United Arab Emirates, will be focused on completing this phase from November 14 through November 30, 2006.
