Beyond Green is highlighting coral reef conservation initiatives across its member properties ahead of World Oceans Day on June 8.
The sustainable hospitality network said member properties in destinations including Tanzania, Costa Rica, Dominica, Malaysia, Colombia and French Polynesia are supporting projects aimed at protecting and restoring coral reef ecosystems.
Coral reefs support around 25 per cent of marine life despite covering less than one per cent of the ocean. However, they face increasing pressure from climate change, coral bleaching, pollution, overfishing and coastal development.
According to Beyond Green, the initiatives form part of a broader effort across its portfolio to support marine conservation and sustainable tourism practices through research, restoration and community engagement.
Among the projects highlighted is the Reef Stars programme at andBeyond Mnemba Island off the coast of Zanzibar. Developed by Oceans Without Borders, the initiative uses locally produced reef star structures to stabilise damaged reefs and support coral regeneration following a mass coral bleaching event in 2024.
In Costa Rica, Corcovado Wilderness Lodge by SCP works with conservation organisations Innoceana and Restor Laboratories through its Adopt a Coral programme, which allows guests to participate in coral monitoring and restoration activities.
Coulibri Ridge in Dominica supports coral restoration through the Daniel Langlois Coral Rescue Center, which maintains coral nursery tanks in a controlled environment to support future reef restoration efforts.
At Gayana Marine Resort in Sabah, Malaysia, the Marine Ecology Research Centre focuses on giant clam propagation and coral reef regeneration, while Hotel Las Islas in Colombia has planted 90,000 corals in partnership with the local Barú community.
In French Polynesia, The Brando supports marine conservation through the Tetiaroa Society and its Tetiaroa Atoll Restoration Program, which focuses on ecosystem restoration and the reintroduction of native species linked to reef health.
