I’m really going to miss videos like this and your passion to keep this hobby genuine, we have lost a huge part of this hobby, prayers to Windsor , little frag and family, RIP Jake Adams
Yes, please let us know? I ran into this video and an so happy to see these awesome individuals working towards getting corals to thrive again. Lord knows the ocean needs the help. But reading your comment makes me think this is no longer the case.
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.
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.
I would have to say this is the best reef video that I saw...I am talking about all the RU-vid videos about reef tanks. We live vicariously through you Jake. Hope to see you at Reef-A-Palooza NYC.
What a beauty, am sure you feel been honoured to be part of the project, and am really honoured to watch your videos, aww Jake please keep those videos rolling when you can please.
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.
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.
Nice video, i would love to see the sourroundins of that farm, where i see no corals, covered with corals, maybe some waste frags from de farm for example. great video loved to see it
So Cool they're the nicest ppl,if you have the ability to help them they will help you! I can't believe how gorgeous it is under water and the corals down there😍 Great video bother!💜🌿✌
Jake love the video Definitely in my most favorite video edit everything you’ve been ever posted shows what we have accomplished and saving our Reefs And what we are can accomplish in a hobby to save what we may be losing in the future and maybe have a way to come back anyhow I’m looking forward to meeting you and seeing you down at Palooza in New York this year thanks for the video always a pleasure to watch Jay
WOW! What an amazing experience Jake 👍🙌 And G’day to Tim! Such lucky gents! I enjoy their solution to not having glue! What a stunning location for promoting reef regeneration , thank you so much for putting this footage together! 😍 Ania
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!
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
I think we take for granted all the equipment and abundance in materials at our disposal to enjoy our hobby. Must be a bit humbling to work alongside those villagers.
Wow this is an awesome idea how fulfilling as a hobbyist must this make you guys feel being so dutiful and assisting science PRESERVATION AND RESTORATION ON SUCH A LEVEL NIIIIIICE
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.
I have an idea if that will help the populations To keep going create statues of real live living in coral And use them to create characters from Disney’s the Little mermaid from King Triton to Ariel flounder Sebastian Don’t forget to include the predatory fish sharks rays barracudas And when there are plenty of them catch them then use their do you need to unlock the genetic secrets of their prehistoric relatives Then we can get some of them to evolve back in existence if a bird can do that by itself is plenty of chance for fish and underwater creatures as well the bottom line is I want to see prehistoric species of fish in Shedd Aquarium it’s kind like Jurassic Park underwater You get it
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.
Give my best regards to the people of Marau- I gave the first workshop there in 1997 with ICLARM, but the ethnic tension was horrible and resulted in the collapse of everything a few years later- good to see the people thriving again.
Man, where's the parasites? Not even aiptasia? I love how curious the villagers are trying to figure out what's into it for the crazy white man. I bet most of them have never seen a reef aquarium nor understood why would you keep one.
Well if your namesake where as smart as King Solomon your ass would be sunning itself there on white hot sands in front of your own beach house right now.
