75% of Kuwait’s coral reefs were wiped out in 2010. Mahmoud Ashkanani and the Kuwait Dive Team are on a mission to save them. Corals are important as they are one of the most beautiful and diverse marine environments with a lot of species depending on them for survival, a loss of our reefs will lead to a loss of many species explains Ashkanani.Since 2001 the Kuwait Dive Team have removed tons of trash from our seas that threatened the survival of our corals. They have successfully installed many artificial reefs leading to a revival of corals in many areas, most notably the Jaber Kuwait Marine Reserve. The installation of water buoys to be used by boats instead of dropping their anchors have also led to better protection of our coral reefs.A single individual can save the reefs by not littering and leaving no trace when going out to sea, not touching the corals when diving, and not catching any species or fish says Ashkanani, so as not to disrupt the balance of our ecosystem.
