For all our ocean and wildlife lovers out there, and my close followers, all of you know that my fiance and I've recently spent a week over in Rarotonga and Aitutaki, enjoying everything the Cook Islands, it's wildlife, beauty and the friendly locals have to offer.
One of those things being incredibly important not only for Rarotonga itself, it's culture and the lagoon surrounding the island, but also for the health and diversity of our oceans: coral reefs.
Te Ara o te Akau Inc is a community-led coral restoration initiative that is dedicated to protecting and revitalising reefs locally in the Cook Islands.
Through this initiative, food security is strengthened, biodiversity is preserved and the natural heritage of the Cook Islands is preserved for generations to come.
For those interested in buying items and supporting this, they sell:
• t-shirts that feature their logo
• Reef friendly sunscreen
🐠🪸For those who are visiting Rarotonga, they do volunteer weekend coral nursery visits where visitors wanting to lend a helping hand are able to get involved.
🪸🐠 They also have coral frames that you can adopt!
If you are interested in making any purchases or wanting to head out to the nurseries, send them a message or email.
Every t-shirt and bottle of sunscreen directly contributes to their coral reef restoration efforts in the Cook Islands.
Every extra page LIKE 👍 extends their audience reach by getting the word out and means their efforts and posts will reach more people (including hopefully more visitors who will get involved!), so please LIKE their page and follow for updates on their work.
Thank you fellow nature lovers 😊🪸🐠
