Welcome to our Coral Logbook – Issue #9
This month, everything is about color.
November marks the Coral Bleaching Awareness Month, reminding us that every lost hue tells the story of a fragile ocean — but also of the hope that restoration brings.
🌊 And because every gesture counts, we are proud to announce our collaboration with Pierre Hermé Paris.
Through its Abysses collection, the Maison joins us in supporting coral reef restoration and raising public awareness about the beauty — and vulnerability — of these vital ecosystems.
A meaningful partnership that connects emotion to action, craftsmanship to nature.
At The Coral Planters, we continue restoring reefs in the field while building stronger bridges with the global scientific community.
Our new partnership with The Coral Reef Research Hub embodies this mission: connecting knowledge, empowering collaboration, and accelerating coral reef recovery worldwide.
And because the ocean’s beauty extends beyond the tropics, our featured article this month explores the fascinating world of kelp forests — the silent giants that play a vital role in marine balance.
Finally, let’s end with optimism: our good news of the month shows that conservation is advancing step by step, thanks to a global movement of people who care.
Thank you for being part of this journey,
and for helping us give color — and life — back to the ocean. 💙
In the Spotlight: Life is Better in Color
Each November, ocean lovers around the world unite for the Coral Bleaching Awareness Month, a global initiative led by the Coral Reef Alliance and the International Coral Reef Initiative (ICRI).
This year, The Coral Planters joins the movement to remind everyone that coral bleaching isn’t just about color — it’s an alarm bell.
When corals lose their vibrant hues, it’s an entire ecosystem that begins to collapse.
Driven by warming waters and pollution, bleaching reveals the silent distress of reefs.
Without corals, biodiversity fades, coastal protection weakens, and communities that depend on the ocean face an uncertain future.
But there is hope.
Local action, awareness, and collective engagement can restore both color and life to our oceans.

Protecting reefs isn’t just science.
It’s about preserving life, culture, and our shared future.
A meaningful collaboration with Pierre Hermé Paris
This holiday season, Pierre Hermé Paris joins forces with The Coral Planters through its new Abysses collection, a tribute to the beauty and fragility of the ocean.
The partnership highlights the importance of coral reefs — home to nearly 25% of marine biodiversity — while supporting our global restoration and education programs.
Through online and in-store donations, everyone can take part in protecting these vital ecosystems.
Pierre Hermé Paris also invites you to adopt a coral alongside the Abysses collection — a symbolic, delicious, and hopeful gesture for the ocean.
Together, let’s turn emotion into action.
New alliance with Reef Hub: the future of coral research lies in collaboration
