Restoring Coral Reefs: Reef Renewal Project

As Van der Valk Plaza Beach & Dive Resort Bonaire, we participate in the Reef Renewal Bonaire project. The goal is to restore and protect coral reefs in Bonaire. The Reef Renewal Bonaire project achieves this by placing frames in the sea. The frames are used to grow coral fragments, which are then replanted back into the sea. You can also find these coral frames at our own house reef right in front of our Plaza beach. Because we consider the protection of coral reefs extremely important, our dive instructors from Toucan Diving are also certified to train other instructors for the Reef Renewal Project and thus protect even more coral reefs.
