Let this be our quiet refuge, Our reefs and forest of Life, Home to a sacred sea Shoals of angels rest. On its sky flies a lonely king Guarding paradise… …with a cry every sunrise! Let this rouse Your soul with a quest Not for a man to lose this island, But for humans and nature to be one. "One of my life’s most meaningful experiences was as a volunteer diver with Coral Cay Conservation on expeditions to the Philippines. The experience inspired me to compose music for the Danjugan Marine Sanctuary. Playing this music in concerts with wonderful Philippine musicians enhanced the following expeditions. The song Danjugan Sanctuary has since then been performed on many occasions including the Swedish King Carl XVI Gustaf’s 60th birthday celebration, broadcast to 20 million viewers."

About Coral Guardians

Coral Guardians is a project initiated by musician Anders

Paulsson and producer Mathias Walin. The intention is

to combine cultural activities and scientific exchange to

support organizations and educational centers that are

committed to the conservation of the world’s coral reefs.

Related science seminars are organized in collaboration

with scientists Per Olsson and Fredrik Moberg from

Stockholm Resilience Centre and Albaeco respectively.

The motivation behind the Coral Guardians project is

that science and music is a powerful combination. Intuitive

and intellectual activities can stimulate each other and

music can increase receptiveness for new information.

Music can also strengthen friendships across the world.

That somebody cares on the other side of the planet can

inspire mutual commitments to better stewardship of our

natural resources.
