Sheba, one of our key partners, has launched the world's largest coral reef restoration program, restoring more than 185,000 square meters of reef by 2029.
For 30 years, the seafloor of Salisi' Besar, a reef off the coast of Sulawesi in Indonesia was silent, destroyed by blast fishing to become a lifeless, mobile grey coral rubble bed. In 2019, Sheba, building upon a decade of research and in partnership with the MARS team, restored a 50 meter long reef, spelling the word H-O-P-E. Since then, Hope has grown both above and below the water...
Sheba is building on the momentum of Hope Reef through the Hope Grows Campaign, a 10-year commitment to restore the rest of Salisi' Besar as well as undertaking restoration at other locations around the globe in need of hope, including Hawaii, Australia, and the maldives.
Thankfully, whoever you are, wherever you are, you can play a powerful part in restoring the ocean's natural splendour.
A community dedicated to investing time, care, and resources to collectively grow never-ending hope for coral reefs.
