Plant a SeaTree

Plant a mangrove tree for the ocean lover in your life - it's the perfect last minute gift!

This gift card helps support the local communities in Mida Creek, Watamu Kenya to plant mangrove SeaTrees to restore coastal ecosystems.

Every mangrove you help to plant:

• Provides sustainable employment and generates economic opportunities for the communities in the Mida Creek area. Community members are then able to provide meals to their families, pay for school fees, and gain access to health care with wages earned through mangrove nursery management.
• Helps to protect Mida Creek from storm-surges and sea-level rise
• Creates critical habitat for threatened species including Green sea turtles.
• Helps protect the surrounding coral reefs from sediment runoff
• Sequesters carbon in one of the most efficient ways possible. In fact, mangrove forests are 5x more effective at storing carbon than tropical forests.

With your support - we work with the MedGardens project of The Cleanwave Foundation to holistically restore the seagrass and macroalgae ecosystems surrounding the well-known tourist destination of Mallorca, in the Balearic Islands of Spain. Years of disruption caused by boat traffic and less than adequate boating guidelines have led to the destruction of these critical ecosystems, and with your support, we can bring them back and help them thrive for years to come. 
Each sq-ft of seagrass and algae you donate to restore contributes to the holistic restoration of this entire marine ecosystem, including:

• planting of seagrass
• growing macroalgae
• removing marine debris
• educating the local community and local boat captains
• supporting local volunteer activations
• conservation signage in tourist areas
• monitoring and maintenance of restored seagrass meadows

The conservation of these ecosystems is vital to coastal protection, scientific research, medication, fishing, eco-tourism, and more. Read here for more information on the project you're supporting and here to learn more about MedGardens.
