The 30 Reefs Initiative

30 Reefs.
One Regenerative Ocean.

The largest creative and data-driven plan to regenerate our coral reefs and the ecosystems and communities that depend on them.

70–90%

of reefs at risk by 2050

25%

of all marine life reef-dependent

97%

of wave and storm energy absorbed

100+

countries hold living reefs

30

sites. one coordinated plan.

The Film

Our mission in motion.

Vision

A jeweled belt
around our Earth.

Scientists have found that marine ecosystems recover so fast, that with the right interventions, we can actually rebuild marine life by 2050.

We have developed a tool that can map any reef and create the most impactful, comprehensive strategy to regenerate that reef — we partner with local NGOs to accelerate strategic collaboration and resources to scale local efforts.

We launch a large-scale sculpture at each site that unites community, amplifies culture and gives an identity and voice to this global movement.

The Approach

A blueprint for full ecosystem regeneration

No single technique regenerates a reef. Our blueprint stacks six interventions, an integrated method, adapted to local reality

Sculpture as anchor

A large-scale artwork becomes the unique identity of each reef — drawing attention, funding, and community.

Marine protection

Formal protection zones enforced with local rangers and community stewardship.

Coral farming

Nurseries and outplanting programs tuned to each reef's species and conditions.

Mangrove restoration

Coastal buffers that filter runoff, sequester carbon, and shelter juvenile fish.

Community Empowerment

Education and job opportunities in conservation as well as energy and clean water solutions embedded in every site's plan where applicable.

Ecotourism & retreats

Regenerative tourism that funds the work and boosts local economies.

Dr. Coral — Our AI Tool Kit

Every reef, read like a fingerprint.

Trained by PhD coral scientist Anderson Mayfield — trained on 25 years of field data across 95 countries and +45K scientific papers indexed — our AI identifies any reef and recommends the exact combination of interventions most likely to regenerate it.

The Global Map

Every restoration group.
Every technique. One atlas.

An open map of almost every reef-restoration organization on earth and the techniques they use — layered with our 30 targeted sites, each rated for reef health and chances of recovery. This map aims to accelerate collaboration and cross-training opportunities to accelerate and scale local efforts.
