With your support - we work with Operation Crayweed and Sydney Insitute of Marine Science to restore the lost kelp forests along the South Bondi subtidal rocky reef in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
Crayweed is among the most important ecosystems on the planet, providing critical food and habitat for hundreds of species. These vast underwater forests support coastal food webs, sequester immense amounts of atmospheric carbon, produce oxygen for marine life, and support unique coastal biodiversity, which is not supported by any other seaweed species.
Each sq-ft of crayweed you restore helps by:
bringing back a critical underwater forest habitat
contributing to the recovery of economically important species like abalone and crayfish
sequestering atmospheric carbon
improving water quality
reestablishing coastal food webs
protecting coastal communities by stabilizing the coast and reducing wave action

With your support ($1 per tree planted) - we work with local communities in Mida Creek, Watamu Kenya to plant mangrove SeaTrees to restore coastal ecosystems.
This project restores 100+ hectares of degraded mangrove forest within the Malindi Watamu National Marine Park and Reserve - a UNESCO Designated Biosphere Area + one of the world’s oldest Marine Protected Areas.
Every mangrove you help to plant:
Provides sustainable employment and generates economic opportunities for the communities in the Mida Creek area. Community members are then able to provide meals to their families, pay for school fees, and gain access to health care with wages earned through mangrove nursery management.
Helps to protect Mida Creek from storm-surges and sea-level rise
Creates critical habitat for threatened species including Green sea turtles.
Helps protect the surrounding coral reefs from sediment runoff
Sequesters carbon in one of the most efficient ways possible. In fact, mangrove forests are 5x more effective at storing carbon than tropical forests.

Restore Seagrass and Algae in Spain
Regular price
$5.00
With your support - we work with the MedGardens project of The Cleanwave Foundation to holistically restore the seagrass and macroalgae ecosystems surrounding the well-known tourist destination of Mallorca, in the Balearic Islands of Spain. Years of disruption caused by boat traffic and less than adequate boating guidelines have led to the destruction of these critical ecosystems, and with your support, we can bring them back and help them thrive for years to come. Each sq-ft of seagrass and algae you donate to restore contributes to the holistic restoration of this entire marine ecosystem, including:
planting of seagrass
growing macroalgae
removing marine debris
educating the local community and local boat captains
supporting local volunteer activations
conservation signage in tourist areas
monitoring and maintenance of restored seagrass meadows
The conservation of these ecosystems is vital to coastal protection, scientific research, medication, fishing, eco-tourism, and more. Read here for more information on the project you're supporting and here to learn more about MedGardens.

Plant Coral SeaTrees in Bali
Regular price
$25.00
With your support ($25 per piece of coral) - we work with Ocean Gardener to restore the degraded coral reefs off the coast of the Nusa Penida region of Bali, Indonesia.
Each piece of coral you help us grow:
Provides sustainable employment for the people in the Nusa Penida region of Bali, Indonesia - at a time when the pandemic had devastated Bali’s tourism-based economy
Supports over a dozen local families
Creates critical habitat for 500+ species
Your piece of coral will be grown in the Ped Acropora Coral Nursery until it istransplanted onto the reefs and monitored until the coral reef rebuilds, and marine life returns to the area. This will rapidly restore biodiversity to the reef and create a new thriving ecosystem.

Plant Mangrove SeaTrees in Baja
Regular price
$10.00
With your support ($2 per tree planted) - we work with our project partners WILDCOAST to plant 100,000 mangrove trees across 25 acres of mangrove habitat with the help of the local community members in the El Datil region of Laguna San Ignacio, Baja, Mexico.
This project provides living-wage employment and training opportunities for the local community, empowers gender equity, protects the area from increased climate change impacts, and safeguards critical habitats for several vulnerable species. At the heart of this project is a local group of women, “Mujeres de El Dátil,” who were trained in 2019 by WILDCOAST on mangroves environmental services, seedlings collection and planting techniques, as well as monitoring and maintenance of restored sites.
Every mangrove you help to plant:
Provides living-wage employment to the local community.
Improves the livelihoods of 250+ inhabitants of El Dátil.
Trains 11+ women in project management and monitoring.
Protects local areas and communities from sea-level rise and increased storm surges.
Safeguards critical gray whale nursery habitat.
