Reefgen is restoring our oceans to a thriving state
Coral reefs and seagrass meadows are critical marine ecosystems that support coastal resilience and human health. However, these habitats are under threat and continue to disappear at unprecedented rates.
If we don't address the current rate of degradation, 90% of coral reefs and 50% of our seagrass meadows will cease to exist by 2050. These losses will decimate fisheries, water quality, and livelihoods in coastal communities.
Healthy coastal ecosystems are capable of supporting a vast range of natural and built environments.
Active restoration of these ecosystems is paramount to supporting life on a global scale.

Carbon Sequestration:
Seagrasses capture carbon from the atmosphere at a rate thirty-five times faster than tropical rainforests, storing about 80,000 metric tons of carbon per square kilometer.

Coastal Erosion:
Seagrasses and corals reduce wave and current impacts on shorelines. Seagrass beds can reduce cliff erosion by up to seventy percent, preserving coastal infrastructure.

Fisheries Conservation:
Critical species utilize seagrass beds as nursery, and migrate to reefs as they grow older. Seagrass supports one-fifth of the world's fisheries, a $400 Billion USD Economy.

Cultural Preservation:
Seagrass and corals are culturally significant to indigenous communities, being incorporated into foods, medicines, and ceremonies.
We make cost-effective, versatile underwater vehicles for habitat enhancement, unlocking global scale restoration potential for the blue economy.
By mechanizing manual planting systems for seagrass and coral restoration, our mission is to reduce costs and risks while increasing speed, safety and accessibility for practitioners and stakeholders around the world.
Our efficiency and affordability enable us to effectively mitigate the loss of seagrass, corals, kelp, and other vital marine habitats.
Seagrass beds provide habitat for thousands of fish and invertebrate species. They are also emerging as one of the most efficient natural carbon sequestration systems.
