Coral Vita grows resilient coral up to 50x faster to restore dying reefs. Half of coral reefs are dead and over 90% are on track to die by 2050. By growing diverse and resilient coral for reef restoration, we help preserve the ocean’s biodiversity. In turn, we protect the prosperity and health of communities, nations, and industries that depend on reefs for coastal protection, food, and revenue. There is an urgent need to jumpstart a Restoration Economy to protect the ecosystems that sustain humanity. By selling restoration as a service to reef-dependent customers, Coral Vita works to inject the needed capital to scale restoration globally and preserve coral reefs for future generations.

Sam Teicher and Gator Halpern met at the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies, where they both received Master of Environmental Management degrees. Together, they helped launch the Social and Environmental Entrepreneurship Club and were awarded the university’s first-ever Green Innovation Fellowship. Their graduate studies in Business & the Environment and their love for oceans inspired them to launch a company to solve global coral reef degradation.

Sam is the Co-Founder and Chief Reef Officer of Coral Vita. After graduating from Yale College in 2012, he served as the Chief Operating Officer for the Mauritius-based non-profit ELI Africa. While there, he helped launch a United Nations-funded coral farming project in partnership with the Mauritius Oceanography Institute. This experience played a big part in him and Gator later creating Coral Vita as they obtained their master’s degrees from the Yale School of the Environment. Sam previously interned for the White House Council on Environmental Quality’s Climate Preparedness Team, worked for the Global Island Partnership, and was a contributing author to Sustainable Development Goal 14: Life Below Water. He is a Forbes 30 Under 30 Social Entrepreneur, a Global Climate Action Summit ‘Climate Trailblazer,’ and a fellow in Echoing Green, the Halcyon Incubator, JMK Innovation Prize, and Wild Gift. Sam is an optimistic DC sports fan, an easy-going rugby player, and a PADI Rescue diver.

    • MSNBC: 1 man's 'election denier' is another man's TV host
      MSNBC, the "news" outfit on which the Rev. Al Sharpton has a show, briefly hired former Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, at $300,000 per year, to serve as an on-air pundit. Why did the rabidly anti-Trump, anti-Republican network make her the offer? MSNBC likely did so because 2024 is an election year; McDaniel was… […]
    • Dems' weakest case against Trump is first to go to trial
      Donald Trump was first indicted nearly a year ago, on April 4, 2023, when Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg announced charges against the former president over a nondisclosure agreement Trump used to buy the silence of porn actress Stormy Daniels, with whom he had apparently had a brief sexual encounter. Bragg, an elected Democrat, won… […]
    • White House adds hair-sniffing contest to Easter Egg Roll!
      It's about time again for the annual White House Easter Egg Roll. What the resurrection of Jesus has to do with eggs, chocolate candy, jelly beans or peeps is beyond me. Jesus did not arise from the dead and walk through the walls of the tomb holding an Easter basket and looking for eggs laid… […]
    • Say it, media: DEMOCRATS are prosecuting Trump
      On March 25, "Daily Show" host Jon Stewart uncorked a typical not-so-funny sermon about how Donald Trump overvaluing real estate properties was not a "victimless crime." Trump has been found liable for fraud despite no banker or financier ever claiming Trump victimized them. Then the New York Post reported talk-show host Tim Pool tweeted that… […]
    • Our subsidiarity vs. their intersectionality: How we win
      In their weekly podcast, Hollywood veteran Loy Edge and longtime WND columnist Jack Cashill skirt the everyday politics downstream and travel merrily upstream to the source of our extraordinary culture. The post Our subsidiarity vs. their intersectionality: How we win appeared first on WND.
    • The shocking beliefs of America's powerful 'elites'
      It is becoming increasingly clear that some of America's most serious problems can be traced back to our colleges and universities – or at least the ones educating the country's most powerful people. The Vietnam War era aside, it has traditionally been uncommon for events at universities to make national headlines. Absent something extraordinary, like… […]
    • Who is really behind Moscow terror attack?
      Was the Islamic State (ISIS) behind the Crocus City Hall terror attack in Moscow that killed 139 and wounded 182 on March 22, 2024, or not? The Islamic State did claim the attack, and the Western mainstream is agreed that the terror group was, indeed, behind it. On March 25, White House press secretary Karine… […]
    • Only Democrats get to lie on NBC News
      Ronna McDaniel, formerly chairwoman of the Republican National Committee, was recently hired and subsequently fired by NBC News when the "talent," unable to countenance even moderate dissent, revolted on air. The entire kerfuffle is unsurprising considering the state of modern "media." But one of the funniest moments of the McDaniel blowup came when host and… […]
    • Accept $40,000 loan offer from 'FIL'?
      Dear Dave, My wife and I owe about $40,000 on our mortgage. My father-in-law, who is a very nice and generous man, said he wants to pay off the house for us, then let us pay him back over time. We've borrowed much smaller amounts of money from him in the past, and we were… […]
