Coral reefs are disappearing at an alarming rate, and urgent action is needed to save them. Dr Ulrike Pfreundt, Co-Founder, Co-CEO, and Head of Science & Development at rrreefs, explains why innovation in reef restoration is both vital and challenging.

While scientific rigor often requires complete data, the pace of reef decline demands rapid experimentation in the field. Pfreundt emphasizes that in areas requiring urgent innovation, practical trial-and-error is essential to develop effective solutions.

rrreefs are pioneering approaches that combine cutting-edge science with actionable fieldwork to protect and restore these critical ecosystems at the intersection of urgency, innovation, and science in tackling one of the planet’s most pressing environmental challenges.
