Lead institution:
Coral Gardeners – France
Our initiative accelerates coral reef restoration and ocean conservation through science-based innovation, youth engagement, and community empowerment.
Rooted in French Polynesia and expanding globally, we restore degraded reefs using cutting-edge techniques and locally led solutions.
Through awareness campaigns, educational programs, and storytelling, we aim to reconnect people with the ocean and inspire a generation of Ocean Guardians.
Our work directly contributes to the goals of the UN Decade of Ocean Science by combining traditional knowledge and modern science to protect marine biodiversity, build coastal resilience, and foster sustainable blue economies.
