CNN Business recently featured Coral Vita’s revolutionary approach to coral restoration in their piece “Growing coral faster on land, in a race against time.” The spotlight showcases how our pioneering land-based coral farm in Freeport, Grand Bahama is transforming the fight against coral reef destruction.
As coral reefs worldwide face unprecedented threats from climate change, Coral Vita is leading the charge with innovative solutions that grow corals up to 50 times faster than nature. Using cutting-edge micro-fragmentation techniques and assisted evolution methods, we’re cultivating resilient corals that can better withstand rising ocean temperatures and environmental stressors.
The feature highlights how our state-of-the-art facility serves multiple purposes: restoring damaged reefs throughout the Bahamas while creating a unique educational and eco-tourism destination. Visitors can witness live coral growing in action and learn about the critical importance of reef ecosystems, which support 25% of all marine life and protect coastal communities.
CNN’s coverage underscores the urgency of reef restoration and celebrates the hope that innovative science and community-driven conservation can bring to our oceans. Our work represents a beacon of possibility in preserving these underwater rainforests for future generations.
