Within the frame of the community actions through the non-profit @yachtaidglobal ‘s Operation Turu, computers and printers were delivered to the small dorm of one of the middle schools on the island of Moorea.
18 kids (aged 11 to 16), all from the remote island of Maiao, live there throughout the school year going back home only for long school breaks.
In collaboration with the Ministry of Education and Culture in French Polynesia, we delivered computers and printers in support of the children’s ongoing education and to facilitate communication with their family back home.
The children gave us a warm and special welcome! It was a moment of connection and sharing.
This is part of a wider project this year aiming at improving the well-being of pupils in or from remote islands.
We can’t thank enough the Minister of Education and his team for his continuous support as well as the local yacht agents @tahiti.ocean tahitisuperyachtsupport and seal_superyachts_tahiti for their donations contributing to elevate the support of the superyacht industry locally.
If you are on a yacht coming our way and would like to find out more how to support YachtAid Global’s actions in French Polynesia, get in touch! 😀

YachtAid Global, participating yacht crews and marine scientists conducted field research on manta rays and epaulette sharks in the Raja Ampat Archipelago. These sharks, also known as “walking sharks” for their unique ability to walk across the shoreline and seafloor using their pectoral and pelvic fins, are endemic to the Raja Ampat area and only grow up to 30” long.
Epaulette sharks, currently listed as nearly threatened on the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Red List, are characterized by their unique spot patterns and are 1 of 9 species of morphologically similar sharks that are native to the waters around Northern Australia, New Guinea, and the Raja Ampat Archipelago.
With little knowledge about these species, the team tagged and tracked the sharks to help establish a population baseline and better understand the “walking sharks” movement patterns. These studies will provide data that enable local scientists to implement effective conservation strategies, helping to ensure the long-term survival and success of the species.

🌊 Big news from #UNOC: French Polynesia will designate its entire 4.5M km² Marine Managed Area as a marine protected area – one of the largest in the world.
This bold move includes strong protections, a ban on deep-sea mining, and support for sustainable fisheries, reflecting years of collaboration between local leaders, communities, and global partners like Conservation International and the Blue Nature Alliance.
As Conservation International CEO Dr. M. Sanjayan states: “This is a big deal – for French Polynesia and for the planet.”

Coral reefs survived millions of years
Corals are ancient. Scientists believe they first appeared over 500 million years ago. These sea creatures began as simple, solitary organisms. Over time, they transformed into vast reef systems. Their history is marked by struggle and resilience.
Reef crisis needs urgent awareness
Today, coral reefs face a new kind of extinction. And this time, the threat is us. Since the 1980s, scientists have documented massive bleaching events. These happen when ocean temperatures rise. Corals lose the algae that give them color and life. If temperatures stay high, they die.
As the reefs suffer, marine life disappears with them. Fish, turtles, mollusks, and countless others rely on coral habitats. Without reefs, entire food chains collapse. And so does a major source of food and income for millions of people.
How coral reefs protect us
Reefs are not just pretty underwater structures. They are vital to life. Coral reefs act as natural barriers, shielding coastlines from storms and erosion. They also support fishing industries and feed over a billion people worldwide.
Coral reefs help more than sea life. They help people stay healthy too. Some reef creatures make chemicals that fight germs. These are now used in medicines for infections.
Reefs also help keep our oceans clear. They filter out particles and maintain water quality. Coral reefs do not survive in muddy or polluted water, so their presence indicates healthy oceans. When we protect reefs, we also preserve the balance of marine ecosystems.
Joining World Reef Awareness Day
World Reef Awareness Day is more than just information. It is about action. Simple efforts matter. You can start by organizing or joining a local beach cleanup. Trash on land often ends up in the ocean, harming marine life. Decreasing your use of plastics can be a first step as well. 😊 Any input even the smallest multiplied by millions makes a difference.
