Countries Where We Operate
Every major ocean
Every year, 14 billion pounds of plastic enter our oceans.
That's 38 million pounds. Every single day.
50% of coral reefs have died in the last 30 years.
The reefs that remain support a quarter of all marine life.
But here's what we know: nature recovers. Given the chance.
Every reef we restore proves it.
TIDE gives it that chance.
In 34 countries. Every major ocean. Right now.

Field Reports
Conservation is not abstract. These are the people doing the work, and the oceans they're bringing back.
Three years ago, our team planted 4,000 coral fragments on a bleached section of the Great Barrier Reef. Today, that section is alive with fish.
Maria Rodriguez has been a TIDE community guardian on Costa Rica's Pacific coast for three decades. Here's what she's seen change.
Our newest cleanup vessel, the Pacific Guardian, can extract 24 tons of plastic per day from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.
