August 16, 2010 – New mooring Buoy Installed at Twins

As part of our marine conservation activities on Koh Tao we are invlovled in helping to ensure that Koh Tao has a well maintained system of mooring buoys and mooring lines.

We have recently established new mooring lines at both Twins and Green Rock and having recently 'adopted' Twins as one of our dive sites under Marine Conservation Koh Tao's 'Adopt a Reef' program we thought it only fitting to ensure that we have the most well moored dive site on the island. (At least we think it is).

On a beautiful sunny morning IDCS Nathan Cook joined many divers who ventured to Twins on this fine morning. we had the line and mooring buoy ready so it was a relatively simple job to go in and tie it on.

Developing mooring lines and having properly moored and marked dive sites is one the most prominenet current programs under the Save Koh Tao Group's Marine Conservation Branch, Marine Conservation Koh Tao (www.marineconservationkohtao.com).
We are currently in the process of developing moorings that can be deployed in sandy areas negating the need to tie onto our rocks and fragile natural environments.
