Coral reefs support 25% of marine species. They are extremely important ecosystems. Innovative restorations projects like these are fundamental in protecting reefs worldwide from degradation. 

Coral Vita’s land-based coral farms integrate new methods developed by solar impulse advisors to accelerate coral growth up to 50x fater in a process called microfragmenting. Coral Vita further enhances species resilience to ocean warming and acidification through assisted evolution. The coral grown on-shore is then planted into deteriorating reefs, bringing them back to life.

Their land based farms also act as education centres for local communities and Eco tourism attractions.

Their methods: 

• Micro Fragmentation:  breaking the corals into smaller pieces of 1 to 5 polyps, using a specialised band-saw, stimulating the coral tissue to grow, a

• Assisted evolution: through breeding practices they create more resilient coral
