We create reefs to maintain and preserve marine biodiversity.

We are The Coral Planters

Together, let’s plant the corals of tomorrow.

Without significant action, corals could disappear by 2050.

Why are coral reefs so important?

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.

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

Massive bleaching events linked to global warming, overfishing, human activities and pollution are threatening these ecosystems.

of all marine life is found in coral reefs, making them one of the most diverse ecosystems on earth.

Since 2009, 20% of coral reefs disappeared, representing a surface area of 11,700 km2. 

Our missions

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.

Coral restoration

In the field for over 20 years, our team succeeded in developing effective transplantation techniques to restore coral reefs. This restoration is based on an established process and consisting in many stages: manufacture of the structures, maintenance and daily monitoring.

Education

Through our Edu'Coral, we engage with the public through speaking at schools and events, as well as other opportunities to raise awareness of the importance of marine biodiversity and the value of coral reefs. Our outreach extends to participating in association events, organizing waste collection drives, and various other activities.

Reef monitoring

We rigorously monitor the growth and health of our corals. We also provide free access to all photos and updates online. We carry out more in-depth analyse on a regular basis: species analysis, survival rates. We also want to play our part in optimizing and standardizing the automatic collection of scientific data... Because we believe this is essential to preserving the world's biodiversity!
