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.

The Music for the Ocean crew spent the day seeing the reefs, fish, caves, and coral life that inspire the music! @okinawa_teada 🌊🎶
The crew visited Saki Harii at the Tropical Biosphere Research Center, University of the Ryukyus, to learn more about her coral research and see the coral farm they created.
So much of reef conservation starts with careful science, local knowledge, and people working to understand what keeps these ecosystems alive.
Thank you to Saki Harii and the team for sharing their work with us!
Audio and production powerhouse Will Chen @audiowmc joins our Japan Tour 🇯🇵, currently underway, to make sure everything flashes like it should, sounds like it should, appears when it should, and creates the impact we`re hoping it will.
In preparation for the trip, he got scuba dive certified 🤿🎉 to experience the wonders of the ocean with a little more depth (literally).
The team is currently in Okinawa and head to Fukuoka next. Follow along and catch us at one of our shows! Full tour itinerary at www.telacoral.org/Japan and at link in bio 🔗
Kumamoto, thank you! 💙🎶
Music for the Ocean’s first Japan tour show with @chadwickcannon brought together about 200 people and raised around ¥85,000 in donations.
One of the most special moments was sharing the new Amakusa piece, inspired by the coral reefs nearby. Many people said they had no idea Kumamoto’s own ocean had reefs that beautiful.
That is why this tour matters! Music can help people connect with the ocean and the places worth protecting.
Next stop: Okinawa 🌊
