OCEAN REVIVE is a startup at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. We are the inventors of Maritechture™ technologies, now being further developed under OCEAN REVIVE REEF TOOLS. OR is comprised of an interdisciplinary team of scientists with decades of collective experience in tropical marine ecosystems, coral, seagrass and mangrove ecology, genomics, and material sciences. We provide a deep understanding of marine organisms and restoration strategies, offering first access to newly developed, science-based technologies and techniques to achieve a range of outcomes. Our approach takes marine restoration and coral gardening beyond the state-of-the-art, by directly integrating and implementing next-generation restoration technologies and techniques derived from our most recent scientific findings and creatively tailored to the individual needs of each project.

The portfolio of consultancy services offered by OR is embedded within three main strategies: 

1. Deliver innovative science-based technologies and strategies to scale the conservation, enhancement, and repopulation of natural coral reef, mangrove forests and seagrass meadows, and create new artificial habitats underwater as well as on land.

2. Provide ground-breaking next-generation solutions to increase coral resilience to climate change through maintaining genotypic architecture and diversity (increasing naturally occurring stress-tolerant corals).

3. Designing novel entertaining and enjoyable ways to raise environmental awareness and educate through radically innovative guest experiences, reducing tourism impact on the natural systems, increasing access by extending underwater experiences on land and generating opportunities for net positive conservation impact. These include, but are not limited to zoological garden services such as interior or exterior coral gardens.
