Housing the ocean's homeless

Using Biomimicry and Nanotechnology

Restore. Revitalize. Protect.

The Reef Life Foundation addresses habitat loss through the direct deployment of the ideal coral substrate and community engagement, restoring the critical balance between people and nature within one generation. Our approach provides substrate at scale, increasing the speed of coral outplanting and wild coral growth. Hiring local staff, we deploy Oceanite, a new kind of artificial reef that is engineered to mimic the chemistry, mineral composition, and texture of a natural reef for optimal growth of healthy reef species.

How Do Our Reefs Help?

As a nonprofit, our mission and values guide all that we do; from how we treat each other, to who we collaborate with, to how we interact with the communities we serve. Our mission is to turn the tide against marine degradation and climate impact, fostering an appreciation for the inherent value of the ocean and nurturing healthier oceans for future generations. We believe the only way to achieve this is through a holistic approach.

REAL ESTATE PROTECTION

IntelliReefs protect coastlines against higher storm surge intensity. Healthy reefs reduce 97% of wave energy!

ENVIRONMENTAL DEFENSES

IntelliReefs double as a safe boat mooring system tokeep anchors off corals.

FISH & OTHER MARINE FOODS

Billions of people need to eat fish daily, keeping reefs healthy provides necessary protein meals.

REVENUE

IntelliReefs mooring stations can generate min. $50-$150 per boat, and double as oyster, fish and coral habitats!

ECO TOURISM

Scuba divers can plant Reeflings and assess IntelliReefs coral growth and reef restoration. Mexico states the tourism sector ranks fifth in their  economy!

SEALEGACY

SeaLegacy will synthesize high impact visual media for promotion of pilot deployments and tell the story of coral regeneration worldwide.
