In an exclusive interview with Oceanographic Magazine, Bailey Bass, alongside Coral Gardeners founder Titouan Bernicot and Earthrise founder Alice Aedy, has stepped up to protect the ailing coral reefs through an impactful initiative.
The campaign, spearheaded by this visionary trio, aims to combat the alarming coral bleaching crisis exacerbated by record ocean temperatures. By restoring resilient coral species, they’re not just reviving marine ecosystems but also safeguarding the biodiversity that thrives within them.
Bass, known for her roles in Avatar: The Way of Water and Interview with the Vampire,* brings her passion for the oceans to the forefront of this campaign. The project utilizes groundbreaking technology, including AI and underwater photogrammetry, to enhance coral restoration efforts significantly. With over 100,000 corals already planted, the Coral Gardeners are setting a precedent for environmental conservation.
Their strategy involves identifying and propagating heat-resistant coral strains to enhance the reefs’ survival against escalating marine temperatures. This initiative not only focuses on ecological recovery but also emphasizes the broader implications of such environmental crises on human communities and their cultures.
