Our Vision

To become the leading force in marine conservation and restoration.

Coral reef restoration

How We Started

Our journey began at the Central Launch: Student-led Startup Bootcamp, held at the American Corner, Henry Luce III Library, Central Philippine University on November 22-23, 2024. During this intensive two-day bootcamp, our founding team came together, united by a shared vision to address two pressing environmental issues: the rapid decline of coral reef ecosystems and the growing waste problem from discarded oyster shells in the seafood industry.

This bootcamp served as the catalyst for our startup, where our multidisciplinary team developed our innovative concept of repurposing oyster shell waste into artificial reef structures. The diverse expertise of our founding members allowed us to approach marine conservation from multiple angles, combining ecological understanding with engineering innovation and human-centered design.

What We Do

Our innovative approach combines waste management with marine conservation to create sustainable solutions

Sustainable Reef Creation

We design and manufacture artificial reef structures using recycled oyster shells, providing an eco-friendly alternative to traditional concrete-based solutions.

Waste Reduction & Circular Economy

We partner with seafood restaurants to collect and repurpose oyster shells that would otherwise end up in landfills.

Ecosystem Restoration

Our artificial reef structures create new habitats for marine life, supporting biodiversity and helping to rebuild damaged marine ecosystems.

Custom Solutions

We develop specialized reef designs for different applications including large-scale conservation projects and custom aquarium installations.

Community Engagement

We work closely with coastal communities, environmental NGOs, government bodies, and local organizations for implementation.

Experiential Workshops

We conduct hands-on educational workshops where participants learn the art and science of creating artificial reef molds.
