In Maori mythology, the heroic legends of Maui are numerous. On one occasion he trapped te Ra (the Sun) with ropes and made the day longer by slowing the sun's progress across the sky.
This story can be interpreted as speaking approvingly to us of modifying the natural world, but with beneficial outcomes for everyone.
The suns rays are said to be the remnants of those very ropes that Maui once used to trap te Ra.
Reef building on relatively barren areas of seabed has very positive benefits for marine life.
Many species of marine life require structure for attachment. Fish use reefs for navigation, breeding, sleeping, getting cleaned by smaller fish and even for a change of diet.
REAF offers you opportunities to get creatively involved in enhancing marine life.
You can....
sponsor individual named modules and donate them as green gifts
as an organisation sponsor an entire reef, and have full naming rights for promotional purposes.
as an individual or family group build a dedicated Memory Reef.
join a Marine Life Tour and donate the modules you make to the Opotiki Community Reef
build your own reef yourself with suitable materials.
This is truely a new era opportunity to make a value based environment enhancing decision and take affirming action.
For more details on what it might all entail and cost, contact REAF. Some of the modules used and their cost can be seen on our Marine Life Credits page.
When building an entire reef
