UNESCO expert Fanny Douvere and Coral Vita's project owner Sam Teicher talk about the importance of saving the world's corals.
The right amount of stress at the right time. That's all it requires to trigger coral to grow anywhere from 25—50x it's natural rate as it would in the “wild.” In the practice of coral farming, this is called microfragmenting. Our guest today, Sam Teicher, is the co-founder of Coral Vita. In Freeport, Grand Bahama, Coral Vita is farming coral (using techniques like microfragmenting) to restore the planet's dying reefs. By employing breakthrough techniques Coral Vita can as well grow coral at 50x the typical rate. In 2021, Coral Vita was an Earthshot Prize winner, an incredible award for any environmental organization. This honor recognizes the great potential of their solution and awards them with £1M to further advance and scale their work. Stick around for this episode with Sam Teicher, as through this lens of good stress, bad stress, and everything in between we explore the work of Coral Vita, the vital importance of our coral reefs, and share solutions to restoring the world's dying reefs. ⭐ SPONSORED BY: ☕️ Dean's Beans, Transform,

In the interview, we discuss the state of coral reefs today and the critical importance they play for ocean health, how Coral Vita is working with a wide variety of stakeholders to scale restoration of reefs, and what support is needed to support a thriving ecosystem of environmental entrepreneurs.You can find Sam on Twitter, and you can learn more about Coral Vita on their website, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. For this week's action, help support the work to restore reefs by adopting a coral with Coral Vita.
It's World Oceans Day! And we're celebrating our blue planet by talking about coral reefs. Coral bleaching events are like 100-year flood events: ideally they're only supposed to happen once every 100 years but that's not the reality. In 2005, the U.S. lost half of its Caribbean coral reefs in one year due to a major bleaching event and this past March the Great Barrier Reef experienced its sixth mass bleaching event on record. But there is some good news! We talked with James Robinson, a research fellow at Lancaster University in the U.K, who recently found that bleached corals could actually provide sustenance to local coastal communities. Sam Teicher is the co-founder of Coral Vita, a company that grows corals to restore our world's dying reefs. They are not only restoring coral that's been lost but also helping support local economies that rely on coral reefs.

Coral reefs are a critical ecosystem for our environment - and source of food, livelihoods, and cultural heritage for 500 million people. They're also likely to disappear by 2050 if the goals of the Paris Agreement are not met. That's why Bloomberg Philanthropies is promoting coral reef conservation through our Vibrant Oceans Initiative, which works with coastal communities, nonprofit organizations, local and national governments, policymakers, and academic groups to create more sustainable ocean ecosystems. Our guest today – Sam Teicher – co-founded Coral Vita, an organization dedicated to regenerating dying reefs. Based in Grand Bahama, the team creates high-tech coral farms that grow coral up to 50x faster while boosting resiliency against global warming and acidifying oceans. Healthy corals are then transported and transplanted back into degraded reefs, bringing them back to life. Coral Vita also prioritizes coastal economies by working with local communities, public officials, and private companies to improve education and create new jobs. Most recently, Coral Vita received the inaugural Earthshot Prize, a prestigious global environment prize designed launched by Prince William to incentivize change and help repair our planet with innovative solutions over the next ten years. Our founder, Mike Bloomberg, serves as Global Advisor to the Winners of the Earthshot Prize, including Coral Vita. Bloomberg the company along with Bloomberg Philanthropies has supported The Earthshot Prize since its creation in 2019, and is a Global Alliance Founding Partner. On this episode, Jemma Read, the Global Head of Corporate Philanthropy at Bloomberg LP, sits down with Sam Teicher. They discuss how he created Coral Vita with his co-founder, Gator Halpern, what makes Coral Vita's reef restoration technique unique, his experience with the Earthshot Prize, and how he's planning on using his prize money to expand Coral Vita's impact.
Sam Teicher, co-founder and Chief Reef Officer at Coral Vita, a social enterprise that grows resilient corals on land and transfers them to the sea to restore dying reefs, joins Mitch Ratcliffe to discuss ocean restoration. Check out his recent article, Coral Vita and the Vital Importance of Restoring Coral Reefs, on Earth911. More than half of the world's coral has died since 1970 — if that doesn't set alarm bells ringing, consider that a University of California Santa Barbara study published in Nature in August 2020 found that sea-sourced meat is essential to feeding humans in 2050. We must increase sea yields by up to 74% to keep up with demand, but coral reefs are a critical feature of the food chain in the oceans — if they disappear, we cannot meet the dietary needs of humans — the entire ocean ecosystem could collapse. But there are also glimmers of hope, such as a large, healthy reef recently discovered near Tahiti that has not suffered bleaching. And as Sam explains, resort and seafood companies are beginning to recognize the importance of protecting and restoring reefs that are the foundation of their businesses.Coral Vita's Grand Bahamas facility is the first to take a social enterprise approach to restoring coral. Sam is building the foundation for an industry that has the potential to bring coral back around the planet while creating good paying jobs that are good for the environment. He previously worked on climate resiliency initiatives for the Obama White House and Global Island Partnership. Sam is also an inaugural Earthshot Prize Winner and a Forbes 30 Under 30 Social Entrepreneur. He also co-authored the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal #14: Life Below Water.

Yale professor Alexander Todorov talks about the science of first impressions. Coral Vita cofounder Sam Teicher talks about what his organization is doing to help revitalize damaged coral reefs. Activist Trebbe Johnson talks about the importance of encountering wounded places in our environment. Kassia St. Clair discusses the biographies of colors.
For decades conservation charities have been trying to save the oceans, but sadly, the tide hasn’t turned in their favor. In just the past 40 years, we’ve killed off half the world’s coral reefs, with 20% dying in the past three years alone. What if entrepreneurs could harness the power of business to actually make it profitable to quickly rebuild coral reefs? That’s the bet Coral Vita is making. The Bahamas-based start-up is pioneering on-land coral farming techniques that rapidly grow corals at 50 times the pace they’d normally grow, then transplanting them onto imperiled reefs. Meet the company’s cofounder and chief reef officer, Sam Teicher, and learn not just what we’re doing that’s killing coral reefs, but how for-profit coral farming could just bring them back.
Sam and Gator met at the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies where they helped launch the Social and Environmental Entrepreneurship Club. After graduation and successfully developing and organized ecology projects around the world, their love for oceans inspired them to work together once more to launch Coral Vita, a company that is helping solve global coral degradation, one reef at a time.
