CORALS REQUIRE IMMEDIATE ACTION

Corals are the "rainforest" of the oceans. The second lung of our planet, on which more than 25% of marine species directly depend.

However, coral reefs are dying at an alarming rate - as much as 50% have already been lost in the past 30 years (UNEP).

The decline could reach up to 90% by 2050 if global warming is limited to an increase of 1.5°C.

ROAD TO 1 MILLION !

In the first 5 years of their existence, Coral Gardeners has planted over 15,755 corals around Mo'orea island.

Our pilot studies have shown amazing results, more than 86% survival rate. And confirmed our restoration strategy and transplantation method.

We are now ready to scale! We set the goal to plant 1 million corals around the world before 2025.

VIBRANT GROWTH

Throughout the year, the team works to build, maintain and monitor thousands of corals.

They grow and thrive on ropes, trees, or cookies – to regain strength and become more resilitient to threats.

“This year, I have witnessed the growth of the healthiest and largest corals that I have ever nursed! They have grown so much that we had to reinforce the nursery structures to make sure the ropes would not break" - TAIANO
