Partner with Us to Restore the Reef

ROLEX

Our partnership, which aligns with Rolex’s Perpetual Planet Initiative to address environmental challenges, has laid the groundwork for us to scale our impact and inspire others to join our mission to protect coral reefs for future generations.

Since 2022, Rolex has been a transformative partner, supporting our mission to restore and safeguard coral reefs. As one of our earliest and most significant collaborators, their commitment has gone far beyond financial support—helping propel Coral Gardeners onto the global stage and unlocking new opportunities for collaboration and impact.

Rolex is also funding our first land-based nursery in Thailand, supporting the long-term development of restoration operations across Asia. Their extensive media network has helped amplify our story to the world, with features in renowned publications such as The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Le Monde, expanding global awareness of coral conservation.

AIR TAHITI NUI

To scale our impact, we need to be where the reefs need us most. Since 2020, Air Tahiti Nui has been one of our legacy partners, providing essential flight support for our international expansion, fundraising efforts, and human resource needs. We are deeply grateful for their longstanding commitment to our mission.

This partnership has been crucial for field missions that drive our restoration efforts. From launching our second branch in Fiji to establishing our first Asia branch in Thailand, Air Tahiti Nui has been instrumental in making these expansions possible. Their flights have also supported vital fundraising trips, enabling us to secure the resources needed to grow our work.

Beyond logistical support, Air Tahiti Nui has backed our local engagement efforts, including our first Impact Night—a major event held in French Polynesia to launch our annual Impact Report. The evening showcased our progress since founding through a photography exhibition and storytelling sessions, bringing together key local stakeholders and fostering deeper engagement within the Polynesian community.

HUGO BOSS FOUNDATION

Established in 2022, the Hugo Boss Foundation made a bold statement in 2024 by choosing Coral Gardeners as the first non-profit organization they have ever supported. In our first year of collaboration, their generous funding enabled us to plant 45,000 corals across French Polynesia, Thailand, and Fiji. This ambitious effort contributes to our broader goal of restoring 11,250 square meters of reef by 2026, which is essential for scaling our restoration impact.

Beyond restoration, this collaboration has fueled our local empowerment efforts—educating 1,500 people through school programs and ecotour experiences. In 2024, the Hugo Boss Foundation helped launch the CG Xperience program, an innovative ecotourism model that immerses visitors in coral restoration through interactive presentations and hands-on nursery visits.

Crucially, the Hugo Boss Foundation is also advancing innovation in reef conservation. Their support enabled the development and deployment of two integrated ReefOS systems, enhancing our monitoring capabilities and setting new benchmarks for high-impact, tech-enabled restoration.

SEA BEYOND (PRADA × UNESCO)

Our partnership with Prada and UNESCO through the SEA BEYOND program is a powerful fusion of environmental education, global influence, and marine conservation. Together, we are inspiring the next generation to care for the ocean by embedding reef restoration into mainstream education and culture.

A cornerstone of this collaboration is the development of Saving Coral Reefs: From Science to Storytelling—an interactive online module that guides high school and university students through coral science, conservation practices, and the art of storytelling and advocacy. Delivered globally through the UNESCO Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC), this program equips youth with tools to protect our planet.

Looking ahead, Prada’s support is helping us explore the launch of a new Coral Gardeners branch in the Mediterranean, guided by marine biologist Professor Giovanni Chimienti, while funding CG Labs innovation including AI-powered ReefOS systems.

4OCEAN

Our collaboration with 4Ocean is built on a shared commitment to restoring marine ecosystems and removing plastic pollution. In 2024, we launched a co-branded bracelet collection designed to fund both coral restoration and ocean cleanup efforts.

Each bracelet sold removes 4 pounds of plastic from the ocean and directly supports the planting of one coral at our restoration sites—reinforcing our commitment to circularity and measurable impact.

The 4Ocean team visited our HQ in Mo’orea to capture powerful impact content, highlighting reef conservation urgency and showcasing our teams at work—resonating across both audiences.

GOT BAG

For our restoration teams, having sustainable, durable gear is essential. Our partnership with GOT BAG is about turning ocean plastic waste into something meaningful—innovative bags crafted from ocean plastics equip our teams for field operations.

Since 2022, for every GOT BAG product sold, one coral is planted. Royalties from our co-branded collection and monthly sponsorships directly fund restoration and expansion—including support for two coral nurseries in Thailand.

K-WAY

Since 2023, K-Way has been our official rainwear jacket partner, providing essential protection for restoration teams working in tropical environments where durable, high-performance gear is critical.

Through our co-branded collection, K-Way actively engages customers in coral restoration, with proceeds directly funding planting efforts. Ambassadors Leonardo Fioravanti, Gregorio Paltrinieri, and Arnaud Jerald visited our project sites in 2024, generating powerful content that raised awareness across their media platforms.

KENZO PARFUMS

Kenzo partnered with Coral Gardeners to support the launch of L’Eau Pure Parfum as part of their vision to preserve ocean biodiversity—funding three nurseries in Mo’orea where over 11,000 corals have been planted.

Kenzo’s support also empowered local education and amplified our mission through a global awareness campaign with creators visiting our HQ to experience restoration first-hand.

MELIN

Sun protection is essential for our field teams. Since 2023, Melin has equipped us with high-performance, water-resistant hats co-designed with Coral Gardeners—balancing durability and functionality for both in-water and on-land activities.

PEDAL

Together in 2023, we created a co-branded electric bike championing zero-emission mobility. Pedal’s e-bikes help transport mission-critical equipment across rugged, sandy terrain—directly supporting daily restoration operations.

The partnership also amplifies our mission through storytelling across Pedal’s channels, showing how clean mobility can accelerate conservation.

PANGAIA

PANGAIA is a materials science company designing products that are better for the planet. In 2023, we launched a co-branded capsule using PANGAIA’s sustainable and recyclable materials—turning fashion into a platform for impact.

With every purchase, proceeds supported our mission, including the establishment of two coral nurseries in French Polynesia. The campaign engaged PANGAIA’s sustainability-driven audience with educational storytelling—transforming a fashion choice into tangible support for reef restoration.
