That time I got to take @KensingtonRoyal to plant coral with the @CoralVitaReefs and @EarthshotPrize teams… 🪸👑
Simply amazing. And so grateful for them to elevate the global issue of dying coral reefs and the need to preserve them for future generations.
This is the @earthshotprize in action! 🌍💚
See how @coralvitareefs is regrowing our world’s dying reefs and restoring eco-systems 🪸🤿

What if coral reefs aren’t an environmental cause… but critical infrastructure?
Half of the world’s coral reefs are already gone. By 2050, we could lose more than 90%. That’s not just a biodiversity headline, it’s a trillion-dollar economic problem touching tourism, coastal protection, food systems, and insurance markets.
In this episode, we sit down with @Sam_Teicher, Co-Founder & Chief Reef Officer of Coral Vita, a venture-backed company scaling coral reef restoration worldwide.
Sam’s path runs from early ocean obsession to policy work at the White House to building one of the first for-profit coral restoration companies. Coral Vita grows climate-resilient corals in land-based farms, restores reefs at scale, and works with hotels, governments, and insurers who depend on healthy oceans.
In this episode, we unpack:
•Why reef restoration must move beyond grants to real revenue models
•How Coral Vita accelerates coral growth from decades to months
•The $100B market opportunity beneath the ocean
•Why biodiversity is investable—even without a carbon credit angle
•What investors often misunderstand about nature tech
This isn’t a charity story. It’s a market creation story.
If you care about climate tech, impact investing, or building startups in unconventional spaces, this conversation will challenge how you think about infrastructure and opportunity.

@CoralVitaReefs restores damaged coral reefs by growing stronger, climate-resilient corals in land-based farms and planting them back into the ocean.
Hey @Instacart - time has value. You can’t promise to make working parents’ lives easier, initially offer only reimbursement when your driver takes the food we ordered for our 1-year-old’s birthday party, then make us fight with your reps to finally be offered… $5 in credit

Melissa is going to be a devasting storm in the Caribbean. How bad where remains tied to the track. A loop around/west of Jamaica could yield one of the strongest Caribbean hurricanes on record (high end Category 5 possible) -- a track between Jamaica and Haiti still a powerful hurricane, but much less so. This also shifts the corridor of extreme rains. Along and east of the track will be unfathomable rains, with catastrophic floods possible given the slow nature of the storm. 30"+ of rain appears quite possible along its path. All the tropical spaghetti models keep Melissa away from Florida next week. But it still could be close enough for gusty winds on the east coast, and rough surf. Vacation or cruise to the Bahamas next week? The eastern Bahamas for sure could be facing a major hurricane strike Tues-Wed. Any cruise itineraries with plans in the path of Melissa will be altered or held at port. No cruise line will knowingly navigate through a storm as powerful as this one could be.

48 hours ago, Typhoon Ragasa (NandoPH) was the most powerful storm on the planet in 2025.
Tonight, he remains a large, spiraling, and powerful Pacific cyclone that is closing in on a dangerous landfall near Yangjiang, China.
Hong Kong is currently under the highest storm warning level that can be issued for the city as Ragasa’s 120+ mph (195+ kph) core continues to pass by to the south.
