We are super excited to release the first official trailer for upcoming film ‘Born from the Reef’! Follow along @bornfromthereef for updates and more! ‘Born from the Reef’ tells the story of @coral.coco_ a passionate and resilient coral scientist from the Maldives. After increasingly devastating coral bleaching events, Coco and his team @maldivesunderwaterinitiative work to restore Maldivian coral reefs and protect those who rely on them. Using a cutting edge strategy known as larval restoration, they attempt to track coral spawning in hopes of collecting and releasing millions of coral babies onto degraded reefs. The only challenge is whether or not its already too late for these corals.

The magic of the coral reef🪸 A sneak peak from ‘Born from the Reef’. Coral reefs are not only one of the most important ecosystems but also one of the most fragile. In recent history they have been under constant threat from overfishing, disease, pollution, and climate change. Despite this, healthy refuges can still be found in some areas of the world. Follow along @bornfromthereef for more on these incredible ecosystems and the efforts by @maldivesunderwaterinitiative to protect them!
