This coming July will see a new installation of the MARS system in the Maldives. Like many tropical areas the Maldives has suffered severely from coral bleaching over the last few years. In an attempt to keep small communities of corals alive many islands have created coral farming programmes. One such island is Summer Island where a MARS system will be implemented to assist with their farming techniques.
