The underwater coral rosary in the coastal waters of Sto Domingo, Albay also known as “Coral Genesis” is the newest attraction for pilgrimage, for diving enthusiast and as a marine sanctuary.

The underwater Coral Genesis Project is themed with the Holy Rosary that happened to be the patroness of their local parish church. The project will help in the propagation and restoration of coral reefs in the Albay Gulf, also the corals will grow up to five times faster and resistant to coral bleaching and algae 
The Holy Rosary-themed Coral Genesis Project is comprised of 60 beads equipped with the same number of solar pods while five for the cross has now been lying 100-120 meters off shore with the depth of 15 to 20 feet underwater and covering some 300 square meters area. It also uses the technology with portable micro underwater solar power source, wherein any shape, design, logo, or sculpture can be charged for fast coral reef recovery or even creation of themed sculptures.

The micro solar electric power technology also tickles the corals to grow fast that would require less care as power source is anchored to the sea floor, adding that electric-propagated coral reefs are less prone to algae attacks compared to non-electric propagated ones. 

The Holy Rosary-themed Coral Genesis is a joint project of  JCI Legazpi and Daraga chapters, Albay provincial government and Sto. Domingo municipal government.

Why not endorse this to other parts of the philippines which corals were destroyed due to muro-ami, dynamite, etc.?

This is a great idea by the way
