In a world where over 50% of our coral reefs have been lost, it is imperative that we work together to protect the remaining reefs and begin growing the coral reefs of tomorrow. We're delighted to have joined forces with The Nature Conservancy, Coral Gardeners, Fundación Puntacana and Sea Foundry to improve coral restoration efforts worldwide. Together, this collaborative team is developing and implementing innovative solutions designed to reduce the cost of restoration, enhance the effectiveness of existing practices and dramatically increase both the speed and scale of coral reef rehabilitation.

Coral reefs cover just 0.1% of the ocean but they support 25% of all marine life 🪸🪸 Coral reefs also provide food, cultural heritage, coastal protection, and support the livelihoods of at least one billion people globally. But coral is under threat. We’ve lost 50% of our planet’s coral reefs over the past 50 years, and we’re on track to lose 90% by 2050. That’s why The Nature Conservancy is working with an amazing coalition of partners from Coral Gardeners, Fundación Puntacana, Mote Marine Laboratory & Aquarium, and Sea Foundry to rehabilitate degraded reefs on a scale the world has never seen before. Find out how we’re developing and implementing innovative solutions that reduce costs, increase effectiveness and dramatically increase the pace and scale of coral restoration: https://nature.ly/3N7fY9B.
