We hope that our passion for sustainability inspires you to consider what is most important to you and how you can preserve and protect your environment for generations to come.
Sustainability extends beyond the present. It is a promise to give back more than we take, to meet the needs of the present generation without compromising the future and to consider the implications of our actions.
While sustainable travel continues to gain momentum, Kokomo has built its foundation on driving positive change in this arena. The protection and preservation of our island, our community, and our oceans is of paramount importance to us, and formulating a green strategy for long term success is the cornerstone of our island home.
One of the greatest threats to coral reefs around the world is climate change by rising sea temperatures. To ensure the reef surrounding Kokomo continues to thrive, we launched our Kokomo Coral Restoration Project in 2018.
This project is being led by the Kokomo Marine Biology Team and Marine Department, and our main goal is to increase the number of heat resilient corals on our Kokomo house reef. The more heat resilient corals we have on our house reef, the more likely the reef will survive in years to come.
Guests are encouraged to take part in all stages of the restoration process. Working with our team they can learn how to identify heat resilient corals, plant coral fragments into one of our 7 coral nurseries, and learn how to transplant corals back on to the Kokomo house reef.
Kokomo transplants over 3,000 corals back on to our house reef per season. We have added two new coral nurseries to our eastern side and grow corals in three different styles of nursery.
Our Mangrove Reforestation project aims to plant and restore mangroves, which provide critical marine habitats and coastal protection against tsunamis and cyclones. Mangroves are salt tolerant plants that grow in tidal and riverine areas. Their highly biodiverse habitats create a unique environment for an abundance of marine and freshwater life. Given mangroves are also five times greater at sequestering carbon than rainforests, they are critical in combating climate change and the effects of excess carbon dioxide in the earth’s atmosphere.
To assist with restoration efforts, our team collect mangrove seeds, which are grown in a mangrove nursery on the island. The seeds will be ready for transplantation once they have germinated, with well-established root systems more likely to survive and withstand wave action in tidal areas. Mangroves have been proven to reduce wave action by more than 90%, vital in protecting low-lying coastal villages against cyclones and tsunamis.
Guests have the opportunity to participate in planting and transplanting activities with the Kids Club and landscaping department, regularly assisting with watering, weeding and maintenance. By educating guests on the importance of mangroves, having them participate in planting activities, and helping protect local communities, this project raises environmental awareness while assisting in community development.
The Manta Project Fiji is an affiliate of The Manta Trust. The Manta Trust was founded in order to turn the tide for these enigmatic rays, by coordinating global research and conservation efforts around manta rays, their relatives, and their habitats.
The waterways surrounding Kokomo are a sensory feast, brimming with an enormous variety of sea life including the extraordinary Reef Manta rays (Mobula alfredi). Kokomo is making conscious efforts to help raise awareness and protect manta rays as best as possible in the waters surrounding our Island. The Kokomo Manta Conservation Project encompasses a manta acoustic tagging project, manta identification work, and our Adopt a Manta Initiative working in collaboration with The Manta Project Fiji (an affiliate of the Manta Trust).
