Our Projects

Here at Mulala Marine Sanctuary, there are always a ton of different projects going on. Check out some of our latest endeavors below to get an idea of what we are working on right now!

The Sanctuary

We are constantly monitoring the 1 km coast of the sanctuary, looking out for fishermen who ignore the MPA's boundaries. We work directly with the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries, Community Councils of Fisheries (CCP), and the Maritime Police.

Growing the Corals

Our marine center is working on initiatives to reintroduce coral populations in the MPA. Our coral populations have been slowly declining over the years due to fishing and environmental reasons, and we are working hard to get them back to their full capacity!

Mangrove Conservation

We have two mangrove species within the Sanctuary: red and black mangroves. We are in the process of establishing a mangrove nursery to grow mangrove seed pods and encourage the growth of the two species within the mangrove ecosystems in the estuary within the Sanctuary.

Community Outreach

At Mulala Marine Sanctuary, conservation begins with the people. Empowering local communities is the foundation of our initiatives, led by and for residents, aim to build skills, confidence, and sustainable opportunities. By doing so, coastal communities become stewards of the marine ecosystems they rely on. Through education, access, and tailored solutions, we drive lasting social and environmental change across the region.
