REviving our reefs
Uniting art, science and communities to regenerate our marine ecosystems across the 50 reef sites.
OUR VISION
We have lost half of our reefs in the last 30 years and we are estimated to lose 70-90% by 2050 due to climate change, overfishing and pollution. However, scientists have found that due to the rapid recovery rates of marine ecosystems, with the right interventions,
we can actually rebuild marine life by 2050.
We build culturally impactful, large-scale sculptures, deployed into the ocean to catalyze awareness, action and partnerships. We work with local NGOs to support their efforts in marine protection, coral farming and mangrove restoration initiatives.
OUR APPROACH
We utilize a creative and holistic ridge to reef approach to catalyze communities around ecosystem regeneration.
Our underwater sculptures catalyze local and global awareness and action and become ecotourism and restoration sites.
ART
We partner with local NGOs to accelerate ecosystem regeneration via marine protection, coral farming and mangrove reforestation.
SCIENCE
We activate local communities to create a culture and economy of regeneration for long-term conservation.
COMMUNITY
ridge to reef
A “Ridge to Reef” approach is an environmental management strategy that recognizes the interconnection between ecosystems; from river headwaters, wetlands, and lagoons to coral reefs and marine areas.
At Global Coralition, we utilize this holistic approach by integrating marine protection, coral farming, mangrove restoration, ecotourism, and community development.
MAZU
Launched in 2019 in Koh Tao Thailand in partnership with Eco Koh Tao.
Located in a marine protected area.
+5000 corals surrounding her.
Part of a 200 sq meter reef restoration site.
ATABEY
Project launched in Sosua, Dominican Republic in 2023.
Located in a marine protected area led by Fundación Ecológica Maguá since 2009.
Land-based coral farm established in 2023 to support local restoration efforts.
Mangrove restoration initiatives began in 2023.
MICRO
FRAGMENTATION
Land-based coral farm located at a local school, practicing micro fragmentation - a process of slicing coral into tiny pieces which accelerates growth rates up to 50x.
MANGROVES
Filter and cool water, create habitat and sequester 4-10x more carbon than terrestrial trees. We sponsored our local operational hub, EcoSoluciones RD, to plant more than 250,000 mangroves across the Dominican Republic and supported our partners Despri-Haiti to plant 250,000 mangroves in Haiti.
EDUCATION & ECOTOURISM
Our teams are locally led and the sculptures, coral farms and mangrove projects attract eco-tourism which generate sustainable revenue to support local operations.
