Protecting endangered coral reefs

Dear donors, This month, part of our Coral Guardian team spent two weeks in Kenya, carrying out an audit of the project and being at the heart of our action. On the program: meetings with trainees, work with our partner Oceans Alive, coral transplantation, scientific monitoring, awareness-raising in schools, and exchanges with key restoration players in the region. The coral structures already restored are showing very encouraging results, with corals in good condition and harboring a biodiversity that is already well established, healthy and dynamic. Coral transplant operations have been carried out on the Shimo La Pili and Madowani sites, with all trainees cleaning the coral structures, caring for the corals in the nurseries and transplanting the corals. In total, since the project began in 2024, 3,814 corals have been transplanted, representing 47 ha of marine protected area, and 22 nurseries have been set up. These are also 20 trainees who have been trained over the long term to become ambassadors for coral restoration in their communities. 👉 Beyond reefs, this project creates sustainable opportunities. Thank you for making this possible 💙

Dear Difters, More than a sport, freediving has become one of our tools to better protect the ocean. In early January, at the Salon de la Plongée, the Coral Guardian team had the pleasure of premiering the short film "Coexistence - When We Breathe Together". Produced by Coexistence Crew and Anne Sophie Mouraud in partnership with Coral Guardian and the international freediving association AIDA, this film retraces a key stage of our fieldwork in Hatamin, Indonesia: training the team in freediving, to gain in ease, safety and efficiency during reef restoration. An immersion at the heart of our mission that shows how breathing, confidence and connection to the ocean can become real levers of protection. The screening was followed by an exchange between Juliette Villechanoux, field officer on the mission at Coral Guardian, Anne-Sophie Mouraud and Enchante Gallardo, professional freedivers with Coexistence Crew, AIDA freediving & Fédération AIDA France In 2026, "Coexistence - When We Breathe Together" will continue its journey through festivals, events, companies and committed venues. Thank you for making this possible.
