Large Scale Restoration
The MARRS method is unique in its scalability. Installing hundreds of Reef Stars and thousands of coral fragments per day, we can rapidly rebuild large areas of reef. This method has been celebrated by independent scientists as exemplary practice in large-scale marine restoration.
Rebuilding reefs on this scale is also likely to reseed the recovery of other degraded reefs in the region. Our reefs can act as ‘hubs’ of regional recovery, because coral spawn and young fish are carried on ocean currents to other areas nearby. In this way, the ‘ecological footprint’ of our restored reefs is likely to be larger than the ‘physical footprint’ of the restoration builds that we carry out.
The world we want tomorrow starts with how we do business today.
