THE LARGEST CORAL RESTORATION EFFORT EVER
Become An Ocean Guardian
XPRIZE is activating a global community of collectors to launch the most ambitious coral restoration project in human history with the creation of the largest underwater artwork on the planet.
WHAT IF TECHNOLOGY COULD RESTORE CORAL REEFS BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE?
XPRIZE Coral Restoration is a 5+ year long, $20M competition that will task competitors with successfully restoring the largest area of coral reef in a two-year period with a minimum area the size of 3 hectares and at least 3 different types of corals.
XPRIZE and the Government of Barbados are jointly fundraising for the XPRIZE Coral Restoration competition, and are seeking to raise USD$20M from sponsors to usher in new technologies and approaches that will restore coral reefs more efficiently and effectively at an unprecedented scale.
CORALS ARE DYING OFF at catastrophic rates, with entire ecosystems threatened by extinction. The rate of destruction is so urgent that we could be the last generations to benefit from these invaluable, life-sustaining reefs that were first formed 240 million years ago.
How You Can Help
The XPRIZE Foundation and the Government of Barbados are actively seeking to raise funds from philanthropists, foundations and corporate sponsors who will underwrite the competition prize purse and prize operations. We are also looking for field testing partners to provide the necessary resources for this critical part of the competition.
This partnership with XPRIZE is part of Barbados’ broader effort to invest in innovative solutions and initiatives that will catalyze a global shift towards more just and sustainable economies.
