b'OKINAWA, Japan, April 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Halekulani Okinawa , the award-winning luxury resort located in the Okinawa Kaigan Quasi-National Park in Onna Village, a region known for its abundant nature and coral reefs, today launched its new Coral Nurturing program, a sustainability initiative dedicated to marine environment conservation.
"With the debut of our Coral Nurturing program, we hope that both new and returning guests will participate in this exclusive experience to learn and gain an even better understanding of the natural marine environment surrounding us, and the importance of coral conservation.
Recently, numerous factors such as global climate change, plastic and land pollution, have adversely impacted the coral reefs in Okinawa and contributed to the deterioration of the marine environment.\nIn alignment with Halekulani Okinawa\'s mission of contributing to the conservation of the local environment, and in support of the UN\'s SDG "Life Below Waters" conservation goal, the new Coral Nurturing Program aims to restore the coral reefs by planting corals in the waters around the hotel where corals have died.
I am confident that Halekulani Okinawa\'s new Coral Nurturing program will support Onna Village\'s mission to protecting and regrowing the coral reefs in Okinawa.

Heavy metals and microbial genes hidden in coral skeletons can reveal the connection between human activity and coral reefs and changes in coral reef ecosystems over past decades.

Key Points:

Heavy metals and microbial genes hidden in coral skeletons can reveal the connection between human activity and coral reefs and changes in coral reef ecosystems over past decades.
Certain species of coral have annual growth cycles that leave patterns in their skeletons, similar to growth rings in tree trunks.
The coral samples from Fongafale Island had annual growth bands from 1940 until about 1972, and then appeared to stop growing.
Researchers state that the black bands record the human impact on Tuvalu's coral reef ecosystem since the 1990s.
