The passion to heal the earth has shaped Gator’s life, from researching aquaculture and deforestation in the Peruvian Amazon to working in Brazilian favelas. Through Coral Vita he is back in the ocean, his first true love from his childhood in California, working to make a meaningful difference in the fight to keep reefs alive.

Coral Vita is created a global network of innovative land-based coral farms, using breakthrough methods developed at the Mote Marine Lab and the Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology to grow corals up to fifty times faster while strengthening their resiliency to climate change. The land-based farms are scalable, allowing Coral Vita to grow millions of corals from a single site. Coral Vita’s business model supports restoration efforts, and by taking a community-based approach we integrate local actors to promote long-term reef stewardship.
