VISION
WE ARE A COMMUNITY WHOSE AIM IS TO INSPIRE INNOVATION AND COLLABORATION AMONG PROJECTS THAT RECONCILE HUMAN DEVELOPMENT WITH NATURAL SYSTEMS IN A SUSTAINABLE WAY
STRATEGY
WE CREATE PROJECTS THAT CAN BE EVALUATED AND ARE ACCOUNTABLE TO THE FOLLOWING OBJECTIVES:
-
CONTRIBUTE TO THE PROTECTION AND ADAPTATION OF COASTAL CITIES AND ECOSYSTEMS THROUGH RESTORATION AND REINFORCEMENT OF THE CORAL REEF AND ITS INTERCONNECTED SYSTEMS
-
CREATE SCALABLE, REPLICABLE, AND SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS THAT USE ART AND STORYTELLING TO SPREAD A CORAL MESSAGE
-
PROMOTE AWARENESS AND DEVELOP FACILITIES THAT INSPIRE ACTION IN THE FACE OF OUR CLIMATE EMERGENCY
A HEALTHY CORAL REEF
BLEACHED CORAL
due to heat stress
DEAD REEF
with no fish
The Situation
A coral reef contributes greatly to our Living Planet
but industrial pollution has decimated coral reefs.
In response, a new robot has been invented
for our People to grow billions of coral and survive

YOU CAN BE PART OF THE SOLUTION
JOIN THE COMMUNITY,
AND PLANT RESILIENT CORAL
BACK INTO THE OCEAN
AT SCALE
SAVE CORAL
USING ROBOTS AND SCIENCE-BASED METHODS
SHARE CHARM
BE A PART OF OUR GLOBAL COMMUNITY BEYOND CORAL TODAY
GROW CORAL
OUR METHOD
WE USE A NEW TECHNOLOGY CALLED CHARM TO GROW RESILIENT CORALS AT-SCALE USING ROBOTIC AUTOMATION
One CHARM aquaculture raceway can grow between 1-10,000 corals each year
CORALS GROWN IN NURSERIES (LABORATORIES) CAN SURVIVE THE WARMER TEMPERATURES OF THE FUTURE. CORALS CAN HYBRIDIZE, WHICH ALSO INCREASES NATURAL GENETIC DIVERSITY
MICRO-FRAGMENTATION ACCELERATES CORAL GROWTH UP TO 50 TIMES ITS NATURAL RATES
HEALTHY CORAL IS A VITAL PART OF COASTAL ECOSYSTEMS, WHICH IN TURN CONTRIBUTES TO A VIBRANT ECONOMY
THE ABILITY TO GROW DIVERSE CORALS WILL MEET THE NEEDS OF A SPECIFIC LOCAL ENVIRONMENT
DATA FROM THE LABORATORY CAN PROVIDE SCIENTISTS AND POLICY MAKERS WITH IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE LOCAL ENVIRONMENT
