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 75% 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 reef degradation is a global problem. The above photo of Carysfort Reef in the Florida Keys demonstrates how rapidly coral health has declined in just the past several decades. Today, 95% of Keys' reef are gone. Photo credit: Phil Dustan

Coral Reefs Under Threat

Reefs generate $30 billion annually, but 75% of reefs are projected to die by 2050. Without a doubt, this threatens both ecosystems and economies.

Getting in the #Halloween spirit over at Coral Vita. That's some mighty fine carving by CSO @stephen_ranson, if we do say so ourselves. Two weeks till #CoralCandy time.
Heading into the weekend like scuba suits and business suits. Happy Friday!
John Kerry keeping it real at #OurOcean ✊🏼🌊: 38 American states and countless cities pledged to meet their #ParisAgreement goals, representing 80% of the country's population. Even if Donald Trump pulled us out, the American people are still in Paris and we will meet our goals. This #ocean movement is based on common sense and science. This isn't particularly complicated from a basic point of view. Protecting the #oceans is buying insurance for our citizens. There is great urgency for protecting ocean health. Are we going to move fast enough to do what we need to do? It's a matter of political will.
A true privilege to spend the morning talking coral reef restoration with environmental champion Former President of Costa Rica José María Figueres. He later brought the house down moderating a climate change impacts panel at #OurOcean, challenging us all to transition society to the renewable energy future we need to survive. As he noted, we didn't leave the Stone Age because we ran out of stones. We can leave the fossil fuel age of the Industrial Revolution behind through innovation, grit, and necessity. Glad to see him helping lead the charge at @oceanunite and the #CarbonWarRoom.
Truly an honor seeing His Royal Highness Charles Prince of Wales championing youth action for ocean health. He also took considerable time during his keynote speech to #OurOcean to call out the tremendous value of coral reefs and the catastrophic threat we all face should they collapse: "Coral reefs are the clearest litmus test on the impact of an unsustainable Blue Economy... Coral reefs' economic value is then truly vast, as long as they remain intact. If the recent hurricanes and coral die off [in the Great Barrier Reef] aren't a wake-up call, we can no longer consider ourselves part of a rational sensible civilization."
Stoked to be attending the #OurOcean conference in #Malta this week. And honored to be invited as a high-level participant alongside luminaries such as Dr. Sylvia Earle, Dr. Enric Sala, Her Majesty Queen Noor of Jordan, His Serene Highness Prince Albert of Monaco, and so many other distinguished healthy ocean leaders, experts, advocates, and fighters. 🌊🇲🇹✊🏼
Annnnd go!
