SHEBA® unveils Hope Reef
LONDON, May 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ Hope Reef, the start of the world s largest coral reef restoration program, has been unveiled off the coast of Sulawesi, Indonesia. The reef, which can be seen on Google Earth, has been built to spell the word H-O-P-E and is a symbol to show the world how positive change can happen within our lifetime.
Scientists estimate that if the world does nothing, 90% of the world s tropical reefs will be gone by 2043, impacting nearly 500 million people who depend on them for food, income and coastal protection[1]. The effort to solve this requires global cooperation on a massive scale and SHEBA® hopes to play the role of catalyst, helping to ensure the future has coral reefs and fish.
