Ocean Revive Returns to Reef Futures 2024 — Riviera Maya, Mexico
From December 9–13, 2024, Ocean Revive joined the global coral restoration community at Reef Futures 2024, hosted by the Coral Restoration Consortium (CRC) in Riviera Maya, Mexico. Held at the Iberostar Paraiso Hotel & Resort Complex, this biennial symposium gathered over 800 practitioners, scientists, policymakers, and innovators from around the world to share leading-edge restoration research, strategies, and technologies
Reconnecting with Global Coral Restoration Leaders
At Reef Futures, Ocean Revive connected with fellow restoration experts and highlighted the latest advances in our modular coral restoration platforms. Our team participated in panel discussions, workshops, fieldtrips, and informal exchanges covering strategies to integrate logistics-friendly reef restoration tools into global restoration workflows.
Strengthening Regional Leadership in the MENA Coral Community
As part of our time at Reef Futures 2024, Ocean Revive also participated in the inaugural meeting of the Coral Restoration Consortium’s Middle East and Northern Africa (MENA) regional group (crc.world). This gathering marked a milestone in the formation of a dedicated regional network focused on advancing coral restoration knowledge, policy, and collaboration across the Gulf, Red Sea, and broader MENA region.
We’re proud to be part of this growing platform for:
Sharing lessons from restoration in extreme marine environments
Strengthening regional science and technology transfer
Building partnerships that support locally led, climate-resilient reef recovery
What’s Next for Ocean Revive
We’re energised by the connections and insights gained at Reef Futures 2024. Looking ahead, Ocean Revive will:
Apply new tools and techniques to scale up restoration projects across the Red Sea and Arabian Gulf
Deepen collaboration with global reef scientists, NGOs, and BlueTech developers
Play an active role in regional and international restoration roadmaps and practitioner networks, including the new MENA Coral Restoration Group
By aligning field-tested innovation with global collaboration, we’re helping shape the future of climate-resilient reef recovery.
