Progress report for
Restoring dying and degraded coral reefs
Achievement at a glance
Construction on Coral Vita's pilot coral farm in Grand Bahama is underway. It will be the world's first commercial land-based coral farm for reef restoration. Once operational, it will grow several thousand coral fragments per year to restore local reefs. Simultaneously, it will serve as an interactive education center for local communities, as well as a tourist attraction for visitors to the island. In doing so, we can restore the island's reefs, boost local tourism revenues, and empower a create new jobs for locals in the blue economy.<br>
<br>Once the pilot is demonstrated, Coral Vita will launch its first large-scale coral farm, growing hundreds of thousands or possibly millions of corals from the site. Ultimately, we envision a global network of such coral farms in every country and territory with reefs around the world, helping preserve these vital ecosystems for future generations.
