Reef Ball Foundation has been working in Thailand for many years. Reef Ball technology spawned university projects in 1994. Just before the Tsunami, we began work at Racha Island. When the Tsunami hit, we sped up plans and within 6 weeks had over 30 volunteers from around the world aiding in reef rehabilitation, assessment and rebuilding. The Travel Channel did a great documentary on our work and you can find that at on the video section of our website. There are several projects in the works include a Tsunami Memorial reef ball reef.
