Connecting clients to verified nature outcomes. Delivering value to reef communities.
Conservation becomes sustainable only when it creates lasting economic value. Coastal communities will protect their reefs if doing so returns more income than fishing.
Reefonomics facilitates this, empowering long-term conservation driven by local communities. Companies can power this model, driving reef community prosperity while advancing corporate strategy.
Reefonomics translates high-integrity marine conservation into a valuable asset, driving brand storytelling and underpinning sustainability commitments.
Where sustainability meets strategy.
Reefonomics applies business logic to conservation, introducing accountability and a results-driven approach that supports corporate goals. It therefore represents:
A credible and meaningful marketing plug-in.
A robust underpinning for sustainability reporting.
An opportunity for a long-term, impactful partnership.
the approach
At the heart of Indonesia’s Coral Triangle, Wakatobi Dive Resort and local communities have proven that marine preservation, led and maintained at the local level, can drive lasting economic growth. By linking reef conservation to sustainable tourism, the resort and local residents have transformed threatened habitats into thriving, revenue-generating ecosystems.
Reefonomics builds on this model, converting its success into verified, reportable outcomes for corporate partners.
The mechanism
Reefonomics connects clients to initiatives like Wakatobi’s through reef cells — precisely mapped and continuously monitored reef areas. This system enables measurable, scalable contributions to high-integrity conservation, supporting corporate sustainability goals.
