REEF RECOVERY

THE VISION

We don’t just pick up trash; we are trying to reclaim ecosystems. Our reef missions are tactical, community-driven operations designed to remove ghost gear, plastics, and debris from vital coral structures. We attempt to bridge the gap between passion and professional-grade conservation.

"No water, no life. No blue, no green," by oceanographer Dr. Sylvia Earle

THE PROTOCOL

  • Freedive Focused: Most of our recovery happens in the 5-40ft range. We lead both freedivers and divers to ensure safe removal of debris without damaging the reef.

  • Tactical Recovery: From heavy ghost nets to micro-plastics, we use the right gear- lift bags, shears, mesh bags and floats to get the job done.

  • Data Driven: Every pound matters. We weigh and record all debris to contribute to global conservation data, ensuring our impact is measurable.
