Mozambique

In Nacala Bay, our restoration area is located in an MPA (Marine Protected Area).

Rodrigues Island

Nicknamed the Cinderella of the Mascarenes, Rodrigues Island is a small island lost in the middle of the Indian Ocean which nevertheless hosts the second largest lagoon in the world.

Maldives

The story of Coral Planters began in the Maldives, which now comprises four coral restoration areas spread across the archipelago.

Why are coral reefs so important?

01.

They provide food for many fish… and the people who eat them! 1 km 2 of coral reef can generate between 5 and 15 tonnes of fish and crustaceans.

02.

They help reduce the power of waves to protect coastlines from erosion. Representing 0.1% of the ocean’s surface, reefs protect no less than 150000 km of coastline worldwide.

03.

They are a breeding and nursery ground for many species. More than one in four species lives in coral reefs.

Since 2009, 20% of corals have disappeared due to massive bleaching events linked to ocean acidification and global warming—this represents an area of 11,700 km2 completely destroyed.

These corals are also threatened by overfishing, human-induced coastal development, and all forms of marine pollution: plastic, chemical, light, and noise.

With the urgency of the situation, our team is working to restore coral reefs by combining its actions with the use of innovative technologies.

In addition to our rapid and effective actions, we collaborate with scientists, engineers and experts to develop our restoration techniques and gather as much information as possible. We strive to improve and refine our methodology every day, while raising public awareness of the importance of coral reefs.
