The Reef Ball Foundation donatied Reef Balls to CEDAM
(www.cedam.org) for on going research on Reef Balls in Dominica.
"I was a member of a project cosponsored by CEDAM and AMT. We placed two artificial reef balls offshore of Dominica and started 15 local species of coral on one reef ball while leaving the other alone"
CEDAM plans to seed some Reef Balls with hard corals and others without the seeding treatment to study differences in growth of the fouling communities over time. CEDAM is a volunteer scientific organization. Labor for the donated Reef Balls is being provided by the Reef Ball
Coalition (www.reefballcoalition.org) and concrete is being donated by Castaways Dive Resort of Dominica. www.castaways.dm
