Coral Vita restores threatened reefs by growing resilient corals and transplanting them into degraded sites.

Up to one billion people rely on coral reefs for food, coastal protection, and income. But reefs are rapidly dying due to climate change, pollution, and overfishing. Over 30% have died since the 1970s, and 90% are projected to die by 2050.
By establishing a global network of land-based farms to grow diverse corals resilient to changing ocean conditions,
Coral Vita helps protect the communities, industries, and nations that depend on healthy reefs.

Coral Reefs Under Threat

Reefs generate $30 billion annually, but 90% of reefs are projected to die by 2050. Global degradation threatens ecosystems, economies, and communities.

Happy International Day for Biological Diversity! . Our planet is blessed to be the only known one in the universe with not just life, but spectacular wildlife. It’s something we often take for granted. . What’s even more taken for granted is that so much of this biological diversity ensures humanity is able to survive and thrive. Pollinators for the food we eat. Coral reefs that shelter coastlines from storms. Forests that let us breathe. . Sadly, a recent study found that 1M species are facing extinction, largely due to human activities. We’re knowingly killing our world. Which means we are knowingly killing ourselves. It doesn’t have to be this way. So take the time to encourage your friends and family to spend a few hours in nature this week. Appreciate what we have, and enjoy it. #IBD2019 #BiodiversityDay 📸: @glispa_
Entering the final stages of construction for the Freeport coral farm!! . Grand Opening is set for May 31st at 930am ET - check back on our page for details on the livestream. . So exciting we’re this close after years of work to opening the world’s first land-based commercial coral farm for reef restoration!
As we take the next step forward at Coral Vita with the launch of Grand Bahama coral farm, we want to recognize @stephen_ranson for the incredible role he played helping us execute our vision. . As our Chief Science Officer for nearly two years, Stephen helped the vision of our company become a reality. Through exciting coral science, hard hours toiling on aquaculture construction in the Bahamian sun, collaborations with our partners, and fun moments as friends, we’ll forever be grateful for his time with us. . We wish him all the best in his new life chapter as a wildlife biologist for the State of Washington, and we hope you do too. Looking forward to seeing you back on the reefs soon enough amigo.
Oh hi there coral in our tanks . 📸: @wework
