We aim to accelerate coral reef recovery by combining cutting-edge 3D printing, biodegradable materials, and field-based science to improve coral survival, growth, and long-term reef ecological resilience. We envision a future in which innovative restoration technologies enable corals to recover faster, grow stronger, and persist in the face of a changing climate.
OUR MISSION
WHY CORAL REEFS MATTER
BIODIVERSITY
25% of all marine species spend at least one phase of their life cycle on coral reefs
COASTAL PROTECTION
Coral reefs dampen wave action up to 97%, and help protect low lying areas from coastal flooding
ECONOMIC VALUE
The ecosystem services provided by coral reefs are estimated to be worth over 11 trillion dollars annually
How can biopolymers
& 3D printing support reef restoration?
3D printing techniques enable precise replication of natural coral geometries, restoring fine-scale structural complexity that is critical for coral settlement, growth, and reef function.
​
​Biopolymers break down through microbial enzymatic digestion, not fragmentation. It is biologically assimilated into marine ecosystems as carbon and biomass. This makes it uniquely suited for temporary, science-driven reef restoration tools that support early life stages and then responsibly disappear.​
​
Our Team.
Behind the science is a group of passionate people committed to restoring coral reefs and protecting the ecosystems that depend on them.
