Supporting the Rebel Reef
We still don’t know why Tela’s reefs are so healthy — but we’re working fast to find out.

Nestled in the vibrant waters of the Caribbean lies a hidden gem of biodiversity and ecological health — the coral reef of Tela, Honduras.

In an era where the majority of coral reefs are experiencing degradation and decline, Tela’s reefs are a rare example of resilience and hope.

Home to a dozen critically endangered coral species including magnificent elkhorn coral thickets, rich populations of long spined sea urchins, and astonishingly low incidences of disease or bleaching, Tela’s reefs demonstrate nature’s ability to thrive amid challenges.
That’s why we call it the Rebel Reef.

The energy and enthusiasm we felt at our Wednesday night show at Symphony Space absolutely blew us away. 

The outpouring of support toward our goal of building biobanks in Tela gives us so much hope, and we are endlessly grateful for every single person who showed up. We are happy to announce that the donors that night have helped us come incredibly close to our initial fundraising goal. 

And a heartfelt thank you to our wonderful guest musicians and science panel, whose passion and talent made the evening what it was. You are such an important part of this mission.

Thank you, New York. From the bottom of our hearts. ❤️🗽🍎
