Zeroe, a UAE-based comprehensive carbon management company, will sponsor an artificial coral reef through Project Reefframe project, a pioneering initiative aimed at restoring and preserving coral ecosystems in the UAE. This sponsorship underscores Zeroe’s commitment to environmental sustainability and its recognition of the critical role oceans play in mitigating climate change.
As the United Nations highlights in Sustainable Development Goal 14, oceans are essential for life on Earth. They produce 50% of the oxygen we breathe, absorb 25% of carbon dioxide emissions, and capture 90% of excess heat generated by these emissions. This makes them a vital buffer against the impacts of climate change.
However, oceans face unchartered threats from pollution, plastic waste, and rising temperatures. Coral reefs are experiencing alarming rates of degradation, impacting biodiversity and coastal communities. The United Arab Emirates is building artificial islands and industry that need to consider the future of its oceans.
Project Reeframe, led by Freestyle Divers, is a collaborative effort to rescue and restore coral reefs in the UAE. By creating artificial reefs and transplanting rescued coral fragments, the project aims to create thriving marine ecosystems that can withstand the challenges of climate change.
Darryl Owen, Owner and CEO of Freestyle Divers and Project Reeframe said, “This sponsorship will enable us to expand our efforts in rescuing and restoring coral reefs, ensuring their survival for future generations. Together, we can create a more sustainable future for our oceans and the communities that depend on them.”
Zeroe’s sponsorship of an artificial reef through Project Reeframe demonstrates the company’s dedication to environmental conservation. This initiative aligns with Zeroe’s broader sustainability goals and its belief in the power of technology, collaboration, and innovative thinking to drive positive change.
“Climate change is a complex problem that requires a systemic solution made up of many smaller efforts at all levels, simultaneously. We are proud to contribute to a project that is making a real difference in preserving these invaluable ecosystems,” said Lauren Haworth, Head of Marketing & Partnerships at Zeroe said.
