Coral Vita

Coral Vita is a for-profit company focused on coral reef restoration through a network of land-based coral farms. The company utilizes a method called microfragmenting to accelerate coral growth by up to 50 times, while also enhancing their resilience to environmental stressors like warming and acidifying oceans. This allows them to grow mature, resilient corals in months instead of the decades it would take in the wild.

Their business model is centered on selling restoration services to a variety of clients, including developers, hotels, and governments who depend on the ecosystem services that healthy coral reefs provide. By operating as a for-profit entity, Coral Vita aims to create a scalable and financially sustainable model for large-scale reef restoration. The company has already demonstrated success with projects in The Bahamas, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Saba, where their efforts have led to a doubling of fish populations in restored areas.
