Reef Life Foundation at EarthX | Using Underwater Architecture to Re-Grow Reefs | Episode 010

The world's coral reefs are in crisis and dying off at an alarming rate, but conservationists are working day and night to protect them! Meet Guyon Brenna and Zoë Ward, two members of Reef Life Foundation ( https://www.reeflifefoundation.org/post/last-chance-endeavors) who are doing just that. Reef Life Foundation and its partners have developed a brand new material (Oceanite) that they're using to build artificial reefs, and are applying the cutting edge science of coral micro-fragmentation to grow corals up to 50 times faster than they would out in the wild!

So we are the person that they expect to have results, do the thing, figure it out." -Guyon Brenna, Reef Life Foundation "If you are a fan of breathing, then you should be a fan of reefs." -Zoë Ward, Reef Life Foundation " We want to be the first line out there, planting the coral and making sure that we’re having an impact in the areas that we’re supporting." -Zoë Ward, Reef Life Foundation
