We Can't Save What We Can't See
Did you know that the surface of Mars has been charted more than our own ocean floor? The vast majority of reefs are still a mystery and that needs to change. To protect them, we have to see them and properly map them.
Why Is Mapping Important?
Like tattoos, reefs tell us where the treasure is. By mapping reef habitats we unlock the secrets of ocean health.
Knowledge Is Power
Knowledge gives us the power to protect what matters. Mapping coral reefs helps us preserve marine life, support a healthy planet, and understand the wave systems we ride. When science meets surf, the whole ocean benefits.
The Power Is Ours
Our partners at The Mega Lab at a $85,000 research focused on marine research and conservation. Together with REEF and led by a scientist, surfer, and professor Dr. Cliff Kapono, we're developing new technology to help protect the ocean and share it with the communities who need it most. The initiative champions environmental stewardship by mapping the world's best surf reefs and safeguarding the places we love to play.
We Map 2 Adapt
Join the world's largest citizen powered reef mapping project. Together, we've created over 1,000 reef cartographies and equipped 10,000 new cartographers—so we adapt, protect, and build a healthier ocean for all.
The Mega Boot
When asked what REEF product he was most interested in, Cliff without hesitation chose a boot. He wanted to work on designing a functioning boot. He shared that the boot is an extension of the relationship between someone and nature, their relationship with nature. Score years and support.
