Ocean Revive’s Technology Showcased in VICE Media’s Inside the Red Sea Mission

Ocean Revive’s modular coral restoration solutions were featured in VICE Media’s documentary Inside the Red Sea Mission, which follows international marine scientists aboard the OceanXplorer as they study coral and ecosystem resilience in the Red Sea.

In the film, KAUST researchers and collaborators—including those involved in the Reefscape Initiative—showcase innovative restoration methods and technologies. Ocean Revive’s tools appear as part of the key exploration into scalable reef recovery in the face of the climate crisis.

Technology for Rapid, Efficient & Cost-effective Coral Restoration

The Red Sea is a living laboratory for coral science — home to species that naturally tolerate warmer, more acidic waters. In Inside the Red Sea Mission, this resilience is explored through the lens of innovation, climate adaptation, and reef recovery.

Ocean Revive’s modular BlueTech coral gardening systems were featured in the documentary to highlight how scalable, field-ready tools are already supporting restoration efforts. Filmed during coral surveys along the Saudi Arabian coastline, our infrastructure was shown in action alongside KAUST researchers, emphasising its real-world functionality and adaptability.

Our systems were spotlighted as effective restoration tools because they are:

• Engineered for rapid deployment aboard research vessels and coastal field stations

• Optimised for a wide variety of coral species

• Modular and scalable, supporting large-scale restoration strategies

• Compatible with vessel-based logistics
