    🪸 We can only do these projects because of our Mossy Earth Members! So if you would like to help out you can become a member here: www.mossy.earth/
    We use our rewilding budget to try and restore nature in the most impactful ways. Focusing on keystone species, big impact multiplying ideas and neglected ecosystems. Its fun but above all its impactful in bringing wilderness back to our landscapes.

      I think you've got the right idea here, but I do also think it's included in the spirit of the project and suggested name! Here's how I parsed it out and connected the two, maybe you'll see it similarly!
      I kind of like that the first boat they used to tip the scales back the other way, the first domino to fall if you will, resulted in the domino fish being the first resident and as a result the potential name of the first ship on the front lines of the project. It's effect will be the flourishing reef, will it not?
      This already being a colloquial term for the beginnings of a large scale change gives me the feeling the suggestor of the name did bake it into their suggestion. I do believe they have successfully evoked the thought they were going for in both you and I.

These are the most diverse coral reefs I have ever encountered and seeing them so pointlessly massacred is very painful. These sorts of projects, as well as those from OPWALL and others is exactly what this area needs.

    I don't have a name for the boat (although "Domino" or similar appears to be popular), but I do have two ideas of how your guys could be making the foundations easier/faster. Instead of welding six separate bars to the pre-bent portions, they could bend one hexagonal section of the right width, suspend it, and weld the open trapezoid portions into it. The other idea is to dunk the foundations in epoxy and then dunk them again in sand (which appears to be partially implemented from what you've shown). Hope this helps.

    This is absolutely amazing and it gives us hope here in Cozumel. My wife and I do the maintenance work (habitat cleaning) in efforts to help the coral colonies here get to a point of self-sustainability. Each week we volunteer with our toothbrushes to keep the macroalgae down. Thank you for involving your team in projects like this because it is very important and necessary! You should name the boat Gus after a puddingwife wrasse we became friends with here in Cozumel

    Oh, that's amazing! We're in love with Nusas (Lembongan, Cenigan and Penida) and we've been there in April and planted our corals (named) at Gili Asahan - they have local program to recover nearby coral reefs - wonderful initiative. We will be in Lombok next April/May - will try to see first hand how it's going! All the best, another piece in the puzzle!

    Glad to see you guys buy a boat to facilitate coral. Definitely do a localized version of this whole project for Indonesia. Labor like that isn't affordable in the US, but for a US/Canada Mossy Earth, I think groups of paid staff working with volunteers can do a lot. Get local school kids on field trips into nature. One of the local nature centers wouldn't even let them walk off the path. Which is fair, they get a lot of classes, but a local Mossy Earth chapter can take smaller groups of kids to many different nearby wild areas to minimize impact.
