3nd phase: Reef replenishment

Repeuplement Cayoli, 2017 © Remy Dubas ; Ecocean

Juveniles are released at restocking sites identified as safe. The number and species of individuals released are defined according to the site, with the expertise of our partner. If necessary, the site is adapted. We can enrich the release site by adding artificial shelters, or planting seaweed and seagrass.

To assess the relevance of the action, the fish are regularly counted. The increase in the number of fish indicates a good survival rate and the attractiveness of the site. The fish would be released with tourists and other volunteers to raise awareness of the coastal marine environment.
