    Thanks Jake for taking us to the Soloman Island for this beautiful journey. Love the new project of coral farming and kudos to you and your team for doing this. Keep it up buddy.

    I would have to say this is the best reef video that I saw...I am talking about all the TH-cam videos about reef tanks. We live vicariously through you Jake. Hope to see you at Reef-A-Palooza NYC.

    Great video, awesome seeing you work with the locals. I’ve been to palawan and it was quite obvious that careless tourism causes the most damage. Those untouched by flocks of tourist were the most beautiful thing I could imagine. I just wish the governments of these countries would open up coral export in exchange for reef restoration projects. It could really boost local economy and benefit us reefers. They’re about to miss their chance as state side aquaculture takes off.

  • @Random.Thoughts21
    @Random.Thoughts21 5 ปีที่แล้ว +16

    There should be some business opportunity for these farmers selling direct to hobbyist cutting down 2 middle men in the chain. Like farmers selling via reefer builders to hobbyist and paying Reef Builders some percentage. Profits should go down to these communities otherwise wild corals will be at risk.
    Thanks Reef Builders for all this hardwork.

    • @matthewr.9403
      @matthewr.9403 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      There are intensive permits and legalitys to import corals, making cutting out a wholesaler nearly inpossible.

    • @gabumonboys
      @gabumonboys 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      They need to ship and find ways to advertise the corals and judging by their situation, it doesn't seem like they can afford to just ship corals across the world to the big buyers in America and Europe.

    • @tamasvago87
      @tamasvago87 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      All corals are protected by CITES ( Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora ). Hence this will never happen.

    • @ReefBuildersVideo
      @ReefBuildersVideo  5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      The Studio is my startup, but the corals goina have to come from somewhere so might as well do it right.

  • @earthsmoon

    I would love to do this and its most definitely interesting. We cant do this around our island in Penang. Most parts populated by heavy sewage pipes at the Beach coming from buildings . The water has turned brown to deep green

  • @natalbreefing5934
    @natalbreefing5934 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    REALLY NICE VIDEO. When the corals gets sold to the wealthy reef keepers like us do you know how the profits will benefit the community. Like do you know if they have plans for improving their homes or living conditions or education facilities? Love the idea and your involvement is amazing!

    Nice trip. Looks like the coral end up staying out of the water for a long time before they can get them attached to the plugs on the mesh, though.

    • @ReefBuildersVideo
      @ReefBuildersVideo  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      We had them out of water for a long while just for the workshop but corals looked fine when we put them back. Normally the work is done while sitting in a few feet of water.

    Any plans to put some back on the reef to help restore? Or just farm for export?

    • @ReefBuildersVideo
      @ReefBuildersVideo  5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Not all farmed corals meet the standards for export so plenty gets put back, not to mention the broodstock colonies can get large and is a standing crop of sexually active corals.
