Coral reefs take up 1% of the ocean but support 25% of marine life. According to the United Nations Environment Programme, they benefit an estimated one billion people around the world and protect increasingly vulnerable coastlines. However, increasing global temperatures as a result of climate change will mean we stand to lose 90% of corals if we follow the same trajectory. In the heart of Dubai, a groundbreaking project is breathing new life into our planet's most fragile ecosystems. This documentary, made in partnership with Great Big Story, highlights the inspiring work of Coral Vita, a coral farm created by visionary environmental entrepreneurs who are growing stronger, more adaptable corals. Through controlled conditions and a method called micro-fragmenting, Coral Vita is working to grow corals faster while building their resilience against climate change. Just last year, DP World opened the UAE’s first restorative and educational coral exhibition in partnership with Coral Vita to support regional initiatives to scale restoration solutions. Our partnership exemplifies our dedication to supporting biodiversity-positive actions, focusing on shorelines, living seawalls and biogenic reefs across the areas we operate in. With 90% of traded goods carried by marine transportation, we are committed to restoring the health of marine ecosystems through innovation and science-based targeted actions in line with our recently launched Ocean Strategy. Investing in projects like Coral Vita, we help advance actions towards the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals 14 for the preservation, restoration and protection of marine biodiversity.

This is really an excellent way to cover an urgent situation Maha AlQattan ma'am. Just amazing
This is excellent news to reconcile an URGENT situation, Maha AlQattan. We need this "micro-fragmenting" technology in all our oceans, like yesterday!
