Corals & the ocean
The ocean covers 70 percent of our planet and generates up to 85 percent of the oxygen in our atmosphere. Although coral reefs cover less than 0.2% of the world’s ocean area, they are home to one-third of all known marine animals and more than 25% of marine fish.
Coral reefs harbor the greatest biodiversity of any ecosystem in the world, but these important habitats are dying due to climate change. The Caribbean has already lost over 50% of its coral reefs in the last 30 years and the devastating prediction for the next 30 years is that up to 90% of the former coral formations will die if we do not act now.
Our Footprint Foundation (OFF) actively works to combat climate change and its consequences. We focus on repairing the damage caused by the global developments of the last century to the ocean and its associated ecosystems. Our team consists of diving instructors, marine biologists, dive centers and tour operators who offer trips around the ocean. We are alarmed by the changes and see it as a personal matter to preserve the underwater habitats.
OFF can be divided into three main branches:
The ecological branch, the social branch and the economic branch. Each of them reflects a fundamental aspect of the work that the Foundation does in the south of Cartagena (Isla Barú) in Colombia.
