Our uniqueness centres around connecting education and research projects within the Ocean sector to engage people at different levels in gathering data, inspiring young people and bringing a greater awareness for sustainable change.
WHAT WE DO
Using the Foundation’s skill base and project sectors, we are able to deliver practical solutions, so as to further the ambitions of entities wishing to fulfil their greater obligations to the environment and the social good. Through our projects we are able to assist corporations and groups to deliver modules, that have a real impact on the environment but to also engage with staff and like-minded individuals who have a genuine concern to Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG).
Education
Our close collaboration with experts in the field of corals has led us to engage on global projects looking for more knowledge and data for coral survival and reef restoration. We are passionate believers that education is the best way to fully engage future generations with all the issues around the marine environment.
This has kick started our ‘Reef for Schools’ program, where we are installing coral tanks into Primary Schools, as a teaching aid that connects to the school curriculum and brings part of the ocean into their world of learning.
ESG
Future Oceans Foundation uses donation funding to create projects that actively engage with local communities, education facilities, corporate entities, research groups and NGO’s into furthering our knowledge for coral reef renovation and how that process integrates with the marine environment.
This all ties into the greater heading of Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG) that many companies (and their Shareholders) are wishing to be involved with.

LATEST NEWS
All Started 4 Years ago!
Four years ago over a pub lunch, we began a collaboration with Artecology and the Future Oceans Foundation that resulted in the development of the CoralPod®.
From the outset, our focus extended beyond coral growth. We already had confidence in our ability to propagate corals effectively. The real question was how to design a structure that would maximise biodiversity and habitat complexity while also supporting long-term coral restoration.
The design needed to have the ability to be produced anywhere around the world, using matirials sourced locally.
The CoralPod® was engineered to provide ecological function as well as surface area. Its form creates niches, shelter, and water flow patterns that allow a wide range of species to colonise the unit.
Today, we see evidence not only of successful coral growth but also of broader community development, demonstrating the importance of designing restoration tools with the wider ecosystem in mind.
Recently I observed a post showing a wire frame restoration unit revealed juvenile damselfish (Pomacentridae) sheltering beneath it while a lionfish (Pterois volitans) occupied the same space.
This illustrates a key limitation of wire frames that they lack protective complexity, leaving juveniles vulnerable to predation.
This work reinforces a central principle often overlooked… effective reef restoration is about creating resilient, functioning habitats that support the return of biodiversity at scale.
