Our One Earth Ventures team did a field study last year in Mexico and proved out a coral reef restoration process that demonstrated the ability to turn around a dead coral reef quickly using all natural treatments. We treated the reef by first remediating the water running off a golf course that was polluting the corals, then we treated using micronutrients and increased the fish population by 800-1,000%, brought back hard corals, soft corals, sponges and algae in 5 weeks. The Coral Triangle in Malaysia is of particular interest to us given the species of corals there, we would like to connect with Malaysian sponsors to do a field trial in that region or other regions to start addressing this serious threat. In addition we have developed a treatment for plastics in the ocean to treat down to the microbeads and are seeking sponsors to do pilots on this new technology. We expect to be in India later on this year and are addressing an initiative in the Tamil Nadu coastal area for coral reef restoration and are also looking to address the Red Sea area. Please contact me if you have initiatives or sponsors for these types of solution. Gail Work, CEO - One Earth Ventures gwork@oneearthventures.com

You are doing amazing work! I would love to read, write about or share published stories about these restorations. Please mail me on rrajphukan@gmail.com and connect on Facebook if you would like to. https://www.facebook.com/rrajphukan While in India, you might want to connect with Rohan Arthur of the NCF, who have been studying the coral reefs in Lakshadweep for years and could provide data on bleaching and restoration works in India. He can be reached at rohan@ncf-india.org .
