We have placed Reef Balls in 56+ countries plus we have projects in 14+ additional countries giving us a global reach of 70+ countries. Our projects include artificial reefs, estuary restoration, red mangrove plantings, oyster reef creation, coral propagation, advise for biological recovery from disasters, erosion control (often beach erosion), education on preserving natural reefs and include the world's most practical and advanced reef rehabilitation systems now in use.

1. Global Marine Reefs Are Declining and must be preserved / rehabilitated

2. Coral Reefs have the highest biodiversity of all ecosystems and 30% of the reefs have been lost in only the last 40 years.

3. Designed artificial reef technology, combined with coral propagation and planting and rehabilitating connected systems such as mangroves can help to rehabilitate oceanic reefs.
