THE OCEAN CONTAINS 90% OF THE CARBON IN THE GLOBAL CARBON CYCLE. IT'S SUPERPOWER IS TO SEQUESTER MORE CO2 THAN ANY OTHER ECOSYSTEM ON EARTH. BUT IT NEEDS OUR HELP TO BE MORE HEROIC AND EFFECTIVE. WE NEED MORE PEOPLE TO PROTECT AND RESTORE OCEAN HEALTH. THREATS LIKE CLIMATE CHANGE AND OCEAN ACIDIFICATION ARE ACCELERATING FASTER THAN EVER BEFORE IN GEOLOGIC HISTORY. HUMANITY MUST RISE TO MEET THAT THREAT. SEATREES CREATES CONNECTIONS BETWEEN PEOPLE AND BRANDS THAT ARE READY TO MEET THIS CHALLENGE AND THE SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURS AND SCIENTISTS WHO KNOW HOW TO REGENERATE ECOSYSTEMS BUT STRUGGLE FOR FUNDING AND RECOGNITION. THAT SAID, WE ARE PROUD TO ANNOUNCE OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH SEATREES. WE SUPPORT THE RESTORATION OF THE MANGROVE ECOSYSTEM IN INDONESIA. THIS PROJECT RESTORES AND PROTECTS 46 HECTARES OF HIGHLY DEGRADED MANGROVE FOREST. BIAK ISLAND'S MANGROVE ESTUARIES ARE 75% DEFORESTED. LOCATED IN THE CENTER OF THE CORAL TRIANGLE, THE REEFS AROUND THE BIAK ISLAND REGION HAVE SOME OF THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF BIODIVERSITY ON THE PLANET.
SEATREES HAS WORKED WITH EDEN REFORESTATION PROJECTS SINCE JUNE 2019, STARTING WITH A SMALL PLOT OF 60,000 MANGROVE TREES ON THE MAIN ISLAND OF BIAK, INDONESIA. SEATREES QUICKLY MAXED OUT THE PLANTING SITE AT MNURWAR AND IN JANUARY 2020 BEGAN PLANTING MANGROVE TREES ON THE NEIGHBORED ISLAND OF PAIDADORI. JUST A FEW MONTHS LATER IN OCTOBER 2020, THE PROJECT EXPANDED TO A SECOND PLANTING SITE ON PADAIDORI.
WITH EVERY PURCHASED ITEM METTÃ PLANTS 3 COASTAL MANGROVE TREES. EACH MANGROVE TREE PLANTED SEQUESTERS APPROXIMATELY 680 LBS [308KG] OF C02 OVER ITS LIFETIME. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION ABOUT MANGROVE TREES OR THE PROJECT IN GENERAL, MESSAGE US OR VISIT SEATREES HTTPS://SEA-TREES.ORG/
