Eco Coral

Innovation Research SbiR

Since 2004, the Dutch government runs a program entitled Small Business Innovation Research or SBIR, which acts to promote technological innovation. In 2009, an SBIR call for innovative projects aimed at protecting biodiversity was issued.

The Coral Greenhouse

We answered this call by submitting a project for the establishment of a coral nursery, entitled The Coral Greenhouse. Coral aquaculture in aquarium systems.

 

The goal of this project is to provide the marine aquarium industry with sustainably aquacultured corals, thereby reducing negative impacts on the declining Asian reefs. After several competitive rounds, the project was approved for financial endorsement in June 2010 and in September 2010 we started constructing a pilot nursery to evaluate its economical viability. On www.ecocoral.eu you find everything about this unique project. We look forward to harvesting our first EcoCorals in the second half of 2011.
