Coral Reef Alliance

SEKKISEI has been dedicated to supporting ocean conservation and environmental efforts through the brand's SAVE the BLUE project since 2009. The Coral Reef Alliance is a global nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving coral reefs and protecting the hundreds of millions of people and 25% of ocean life that rely on them. The approach is science-based and holistic. The organization helps contribute to saving coral reefs through three initiatives.

RESULTS

Our donations to The Coral Reef Alliance support coral health and resilience against climate change. Since 2009, SEKKISEI has worked to save endangered coral reefs in Okinawa and support ocean conservation. Since 2011, we’ve expanded globally. This year, our "SAVE the BLUE" project will operate in eight countries, focusing on coral preservation and tree planting.

In the past 15 years, we’ve planted 20,211 coral polyps, covering 122,696,123 cm² (about 0.0047 square miles), expanding coral forests worldwide.
