The objective of 久米島赤土等流出防止プロジェクト (Kumejima Red Soil Outflow Prevention Project) is to take measures against the outflow of red soil in Kumejima to prevent further damage to the island’s biodiverse coral reefs. Agricultural runoff accounts for more than 80% of the red soil smothering the reefs. Local elementary and high school students helped plant a green belt of Akabanana (Hibiscus), a native plant that serves as a windbreaker, and participated in educational activities.

Sway combats plastic pollution and its devastating effects by replacing single-use plastics with packaging made from seaweed.

A group of researchers, led by Trent Tresch, conduct multiple deep-sea dives to study the six gill sharks and the presence of microplastics at depths of 1000-2,500 feet off of Roatan, Honduras. The footage and findings from their research is shared through a display at a local museum, and SOA is partnering with them to share their project to raise awareness of the ways human impacts are being felt even at the depths of the ocean.

20 college students are trained as STEM instructors to educate primary school students about marine conservation, piloting archiREEF’s new initiative to integrate standing curricula about marine science in Hong Kong classrooms to ensure the next generation stewards the reef regeneration activities of archiREEF.

The goal of Max’s project is to establish a supply chain and minimum viable product utilizing purple sea urchin as a gourmet delicacy. Purple urchins are an invasive species along the California coast that feed on kelp, resulting in the decimation of many kelp ecosystems and the services they provide. Max is working to source and develop a food product with help from divers and scientists,  and ultimately hopes to explore the possibility of urchin aquaculture using food waste and algae as an alternative food source for urchins.
