Reef Ball Foundation Inc.
Mission
The Reef Ball Foundation's mission is to help restore and conserve oceanic and aquatic habitats using Reef Ball technologies.TO REHABILITATE OUR WORLD'S OCEAN REEF ECOSYSTEMS AND TO PROTECT OUR NATURAL REEF SYSTEMS USING REEF BALL ARTIFICIAL REEF TECHNOLOGIES. REEF BALLS ARE ARTIFICIAL REEF MODULES PLACED IN THE OCEAN TO FORM REEF HABITAT. We have placed well over 1,000,000 Reef Balls™ and conducted over 8,000 projects in 80+ countries including 22 of 50 US states. Our projects include designed artificial reefs, ground-breaking coral propagation and planting systems, estuary restoration, red mangrove plantings, oyster reef restoration, erosion control, marine and fresh-water habitat protection and creation, and expert collaboration on a variety of oceanic, limnal and fluvial issues. We work with governments, other NGOs, businesses, schools, research institutes, private individuals and community organizations and emphasize education on preserving and protecting our natural reefs, shorelines and other aquatic habitats.
Vision
The Reef Ball Foundation works to restore our ocean and aquatic ecosystems where we can preserve coral reefs and marine life which is key to the health of our planet. 1-Having strong reef systems helps protect our coastlines from storms and human lives. 2-No matter where you live the ocean produces over 50% of the oxygen on Earth and absorbs 50 times more carbon dioxide than our atmosphere. 3-Climate regulation: covering 70% of the Earth's surface, the ocean transports heat from the equator to the poles, regulating our climate and weather patterns. Our projects help provide environmental education on the importance of the ocean while providing hands-on learning marine education projects. Reef Ball technology is used to restore coral reefs, fisheries, a variety of marine species, mangroves, oysters, sea turtles and lobsters, etc. Our technology is also used for erosion control projects such as living shorelines, living sea walls, beach restoration and even projects for birds.
Goals
- 1.Reefs Around the World Grant Program: To help support and provide Reef Ball technology for projects for the public good, such as schools, research institutes and community organizations.
- 2.Reef Ball living shoreline projects. Focus on projects rebuilding shoreline habitats for our coasts.
- 3.Reef Balls for fresh water projects.
