Coral Vita grows corals to revitalize dying reefs. By growing resilient corals at scale, we can pres All of this value is jeopardized by coral reef degradation.

Coral reefs support 25% of marine life and up to one billion people's livelihoods while generating nearly $30 billion annually through tourism, fisheries, and coastal protection. But these rich ecosystems are in serious jeopardy: over half of global reefs died over the past several decades and more than 90% are on track to die by 2050. Coral Vita provides solutions for communities, companies, and countries dependent upon healthy reefs to protect their livelihoods and revenue streams. Co-founded by friends Sam Teicher and Gator Halpern, we are driven by our lifelong connections to the oceans, and aim to give coral reefs the chance to survive changing conditions that threaten their existence. Coral Vita uses accelerated coral farming to preserve and enhance threatened reefs. Our corals are chosen because they are local to the restoration site and proven by marine scientists to be more resilient to changing conditions, such as warming temperatures and acidification. We will assess your reef's health, determine what corals should be grown to revive it, raise these corals in our on-land nurseries, install them into the reef once they are mature, and monitor their progress after installation for a time pre-determined with you. According to the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), coral reefs generate nearly $30 billion annually through tourism, fisheries, and coastal protection. They create 15% of GDP for over two dozen countries, provide food security for hundreds of millions of people living in tropical coastal zones, and buffer coastlines for storm surges and erosion, reducing wave energy by up to 97%. Dying corals threaten ecosystems and economies. If a region's reefs are not revived, tourists seeking dive and snorkel experiences will skip its hotels for other islands, fisheries reliant upon reefs as nurseries will face collapse, and coastal residents and properties will be more exposed to rising seas and stronger storms. Whether you are a government that needs to protect its economy and citizenry, a resort that doesn't want to lose its valuable attraction, a reef restoration based-organization looking to reduce overhead, or a corporation or individual looking to invest in ways to benefit the planet, Coral Vita has a solution for reviving reef health.

🌊 BIG NEWS for our blue planet! 🪸

We’re incredibly proud to share that Coral Vita co-founders Sam Teicher and Gator Halpern have been named to the 2026 list! 🌍

What started as a bold idea with a $1000 grant between two friends—could we build a business that helps preserve the world’s dying coral reefs?—has grown into a global mission to restore these extraordinary ecosystems at scale.

Coral reefs sustain 25% of marine life and support the livelihoods of nearly one billion people. Yet they’re disappearing at an alarming rate.

Sam and Gator believed there had to be a better way. By combining cutting-edge science, innovative technologies, community-based initiatives, and a commercial model that makes large-scale restoration possible, they set out to prove that business can be a force for nature.

This recognition from TIME is an incredible honor—and a testament to the extraordinary Coral Vita team, our partners, advisors, and the communities working alongside us to bring reefs back to life.

But we’re just getting started. 💙

The future of coral reefs isn’t written yet. Together, we are changing the story.

What does a healthy coral reef actually look like?

It’s not just about colorful corals.

Scientists look for all kinds of clues, from the fish and predators living on the reef to the sounds coming from beneath the surface.

Together, they help paint a picture of how the entire ecosystem is doing.

The more we understand reefs, the better we can protect and restore them.

Corals break just about every rule you think you know about animals.

They can clone themselves, build entire ecosystems, and some have been alive for centuries.

The more you learn about them, the stranger they get.

The most fascinating reef residents are often the ones you never notice.

From tiny shrimp to feather duster worms, coral crabs, sea cucumbers, and countless other creatures, a coral reef is packed with life hiding in plain sight.

The next time you’re snorkeling or diving, slow down. You might be surprised by what’s been there all along.

In your defense…
Corals do look suspiciously plant-like.

They stay in one place, branch like trees, and generally do a great job of confusing everyone.

But they’re animals. Which somehow only makes them even weirder.

These corals from our Saudi Arabia farm have been carefully microfragmented, one of the techniques that helps us grow more corals for reef restoration.
