Movie superstars Chris Hemsworth and Matt Damon were on hand to help with the amazing work that Coral Gardeners do.

Hemsworth and Damon were in Fiji last week to launch Coral Gardeners' 1 year in Fiji.

Coral Gardeners are a non profit that started in 2017 on Mo'orea, the sister island of Tahiti in French Polynesia after a small group of young surfers, freedivers, and fishermen noticed the heartbreaking degradation of their home reef.

Coral Gardeners are on a mission to revolutionize ocean conservation and create a global movement to save the world’s coral reefs through active reef restoration, awareness activities and innovative solutions, developed by their CG labs.

They have planted 100,870 corals in French Polynesia and Fiji so far.
