According to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 14, oceans are crucial for sustaining life on our planet. They are responsible for producing 50% of the oxygen we breathe, absorbing 25% of carbon dioxide emissions, and capturing 90% of the excess heat generated by these emissions. Oceans are essential in mitigating the impacts of climate change.
Despite their importance, oceans are facing significant threats from pollution, plastic waste, and increasing temperatures. Coral reefs, in particular, are experiencing rapid degradation, affecting marine biodiversity and coastal communities. As the United Arab Emirates continues to develop artificial islands and industries, it is imperative to consider the future of its oceans.

Darryl Owen, Owner and CEO of Freestyle Divers and Project Reeframe, expressed, “This sponsorship will enable us to expand our efforts in rescuing and restoring coral reefs, ensuring their survival for future generations. Together, we can create a more sustainable future for our oceans and the communities that depend on them.”
Zeroe’s support of an artificial reef through Project Reeframe exemplifies the company’s commitment to environmental conservation.
