We make a leap to the Mergui Archipelago in Myanmar and take over Operations of the Mergui Archipelago Biodiversity Research. During the Season of 2015/2016 we visit more than 20 islands of the Archipelago, establish valuable relationships in the area and document well over 400 different terrestrial and marine species – more than 10 of them endangered around the world, including one coral that is close to extinction but abundant in the Mergui Islands.

In the latest season Project Manaia created a Research Base on Boulder Island, together with the “Boulder Bay Eco Resort” we have a team of two (Marine) Biologists permanently stationed on the remote island.
During this season we established the very first Coral Garden and Coral Nursery of Myanmar and possibly the entire Andaman Sea!
