According to the latest Global Tipping Points Report from the University of Exeter, tropical coral reefs are dying on a massive scale.

➡️ Today, at +1.4°C, we have already crossed the critical threshold.

If we don’t reduce our emissions and reach +1.5°C, coral reefs will have a more than 99% chance of tipping, a point of no return for these essential ecosystems.

It is urgent to find more systemic and long-term solutions.

❌ There’s no point in transplanting doomed corals.

At Pure Ocean, we support scientific approaches that rethink reef restoration from the ground up:

💡 Reef Reborn: boosting coral reproduction with a lipid cocktail to increase larval survival rates. This also makes them more resilient to warming – UTS

🪶 Birds on Sticks: strengthening reefs by restoring the entire ecosystem, from corals to seabirds. More birds = more nutrients = healthier, more resilient corals – University of Essex

🧬 SymbioSwap: the first step in coral death is the loss of symbiotic algae due to heat. This project investigates whether warm-water algae could offer hope for the adaptation of temperate corals, such as those in the Mediterranean – University of Perpignan

🐠 Yaf Keru Impact: heat sensitivity is worsened by human pressures and destructive fishing practices. Yaf Keru Impact shows that by choosing more sustainable methods (no dynamite, no cyanide), reefs and the services they provide can come back to life – Planète Mer

🧭 It’s time to activate positive tipping points.

Every innovation, every project, every donation can help tip the balance in the right direction.
