Gift Cards That Plant SeaTrees

100% of profits fund our mission to protect and restore coastal ecosystems - turning the tide on climate change.

With your support, we work with The Bay Foundation and local divers to remove over-populations of sea-urchins, and restore giant kelp forests in Palos Verdes, Southern California.

Over the last 100 years, more than 90% of California's kelp forests have disappeared. Due to the human impacts of climate change and the removal of key predators like sea otters, sea urchins (which feast on the kelp) have proliferated to create "barrens" where kelp cannot grow.

The good - once the urchins are removed - kelp is the fastest growing organism and can grow up to 2ft per day!

Every square foot of giant kelp you help to restore:

• Provides employment for local fisher-people and divers
• Creates critical habitat for 100s species
  
• Sequesters carbon

With your support - we work with local communities on Biak Island, Indonesia to plant mangrove SeaTrees to restore coastal ecosystems.

Every mangrove you help to plant:

• Provides sustainable employment for two villages on Biak Island, Indonesia
• Helps to protect Biak Island from storm-surges and sea-level rise
• Creates critical habitat for threatened species
• Sequesters carbon in one of the most efficient ways possible. In fact, mangrove forests are 5x more effective at storing carbon than tropical forests.

Take this #OceanPositive action and we'll plant mangrove trees on Biak Island, Indonesia, restore kelp forest in Palos Verdes, CA, and protect a REDD+, VCS and CCBA certified, "ridge to reef" watershed project in either the Southern Cardamom Mountains in Cambodia, or the Paramos Y Bosques Watershed in Colombia.

For the USA, the estimated carbon footprint is based on direct energy use (electricity, natural gas), transportation (auto, air, public) and the embodied emissions from goods and services purchased throughout the year. 

More info on the USA footprint calculations can be found here.

For other countries, the estimated carbon footprint is based on the annual per-capita footprint of each country (compiled by the International Energy Agency). 

Instead of using an overly complex carbon calculator, we use the average footprint of your country/region as the best representation of someone's climate impact. This method is a more realistic estimate because it also includes indirect energy consumption of infrastructure and services.

If you feel that footprint of the person you are buying this gift for is significantly higher than average, then please use a reputable carbon calculator, such as this one from the United Nations, and then buy SeaTrees Tokens to wipe out the specific number of tons that you require.

Tax Deductible: Wiping out your impact is tax deductible in the USA. Keep your receipt!

With your support, we work with Ocean Gardener and The Boardriders Foundation to restore the degraded coral reefs off the coast of the Nusa Penida region of Bali, Indonesia.

Each piece of coral you help us grow:

• Provides sustainable employment for the people in the Nusa Penida region of Bali, Indonesia    - at a time when the pandemic had devastated Bali’s tourism-based economy
• Supports over a dozen local families
• Creates critical habitat for 500+ species

Your piece of coral will be grown in the Ped Acropora Coral Nursery until it is transplanted onto the reefs and monitored until the coral reef rebuilds, and marine life returns to the area. This will rapidly restore biodiversity to the reef and create a new thriving ecosystem.

The conservation of these ecosystems is vital to coastal protection, scientific research, medication, fishing, eco-tourism, and more.
