Biri Initiative
TheBiri Initiativeis an NGO in the Philippines with a goal of installing 250 coral frames around Biri Island. The initiative started with cement structure called Biri-buds and has grown to include community outreach and their new scuba attraction Project 250.
Project 250 is located in front of the Biri Resort and is named for the 150 Biri-buds and 100 coral cages that will be installed. Biri buds are made of cement with crevices and tunnels through the structure to provide habitat for fish.
The coral cages are made of rebar and have various structures like trees, tables, and domes, as well the entrance to the project also doubles as a coral frame. The idea behind Project 250 is to attract scuba divers and volunteers to participate in restoration.
我们喜欢这个项目的是在框架上种植的珊瑚物种的多样性。浏览了一些图像后,这是引人注目的。有时,您会看到一个物种的项目,但是,Biri专注于多样性。另一个有趣的用途是部署了坚固的水泥Biri-buds,以保护海洋保护区的标记浮标,以便船只可以通过锚定在珊瑚上而不是通过锚固。
The Biri Initiative is mostly self-funded and relies on charitable donations to succeed.

Students and tourist can attend voluntourism seminars with Biri to learn about the fundamentals of conservation, and basic surveying techniques.
