\"OutriggerFor the last five years, Outrigger Hotels and Resorts has set out to save the coral reefs and create a tidal wave of global change as part of its OZONE conservation initiative. Pollution and mass bleaching impact the world\u2019s oceans, putting coral at risk. Outrigger\u2019s ZONE (OZONE) goes into action each day by educating guests with hands-on activities. They promote green initiatives and organize volunteer local projects; all of these support coral conservation and protect the well-being of ocean environments.<\/p>\n

This June, as part of World Oceans Month, Outrigger properties worldwide are rolling out a new \u201cLiving Coral\u201d cocktail programme; it’s inspired by the 2019 PANTONE Colour of the Year. Proceeds will benefit coral health and resilience on a global and local level.<\/p>\n

Cocktails and Conservation<\/h4>\n

Outrigger Mauritius Beach Resort has created the Crystal Rock with the chef\u2019s secret \u2018edible coral\u2019, and Orange Crush with caramelized orange on top. Both cocktails will be available at the Bar until the end of the year; 10% of the proceeds will goes to Reef Conservation, a local NGO that ties back to the OZONE mission.<\/p>\n

\nIn addition to enjoying coral-conscious cocktails by the beach, Outrigger invites guests and the local community to get in the OZONE. To generate awareness and educate for the cause, on 7th June guests and the children aged 7 to 12 years old from \u2018Atelier de Formation Joie de Vivre\u2019, a local NGO, came along for a fun educative session on the Protection of the Marine Environment.<\/p>\n

The organisations Reef Conservation and \u2018Bis Lamer\u2019 (\u201cbus of the sea\u201d in Creole) were present on this special day to educate on these themes:<\/p>\n
