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.

Headed down to Tela!
The team is packing up for the next phase of our work in Honduras, where we will be supporting coral spawning and settlement research, and ongoing efforts to protect the reefs of Tela Bay.
More from the field soon💙
A beautiful night in Tokyo celebrating our co-founder @juliberwald and the launch of her latest book, The Shell Seeker, at International House of Japan 💙
The evening also included a screening of Rebel Reef and a mini-concert from @chadwickcannon, with Nobuko Saito Cleary emceeing the event.
Thank you to the fabulous audience who made it a sellout night for Juli!
You can find The Shell Seeker wherever books are sold, or make a donation to Tela Coral and Juli will send you a signed copy!
Koga City 💙
This show was full of firsts for Music for the Ocean: our biggest audience yet with over 500 people, our first performance with ballet, our first with woodwinds, our first with a Chikuzen Biwa Master, and our first with the mayor joining us on stage in a Tela Coral hat.
The show opened with a beautiful children’s choir and ballet, and what moved us most was hearing from audience members that the performance changed the way they felt about the ocean.
We are so grateful to the people of Koga for making this visit so special. This show was a year in the making, and it felt like it. Thank you for the welcome, the care, the food, the patience with our translation apps, and all the work that made this possible!
