Coastal communities and whole industries like tourism or fishing depend on healthy reefs that provide habitat for 25% of marine life and $ billions in annual benefits for hundreds of millions people. With 90% of these benefits tied to tourism and coastal protection, the loss of coral reefs would be catastrophic for coastal communities and economies. Existing gray infrastructure for coastal protection is destructive to coastal ecosystems, while coral restoration solutions are not scalable.

Thrasos 3D fills the gap with its modular carbon-negative purpose-built reefs as a cost-efficient, sustainable, and scalable solution for coastal protection combined with coral restoration. The product enables tourism and hospitality industry players to invest into a restorative solution that is also a valuable asset with measurable economic returns over time. Local community engagement is built into the model, with artificial reef production and transplanting corals creating local jobs.
