Symbiosis is the key to life on Earth. Just look at coral reefs, which depend on critical nutrients from the marine life for whom they provide shelter. These ecosystems that thrive on diversity and mutualism, along with their stunning, psychedelic beauty, inspired the prints and designs for our Tidal Threads collection.

That day on the water, Tauaro [Roometua] showed me the methods for regrowing coral that he learned from the founder of Coral Gardeners, Titouan Bernicot. We swam out to a platform built as a standing area in their outdoor lab. I ducked my face beneath the surface to observe the underwater nursery. The team had rescued pieces of broken coral from the ocean floor before they died, attached them to short pieces of bamboo with special glue, and left them to grow on underwater nursery tables for three to four weeks. When the regenerating corals matured and strengthened, it was time for them to be replanted.

Photos: (Top) Coral reefs are linked to the lives of 25 to 30 percent of all known marine species. Unfortunately, UNESCO’s World Heritage Committee recently recommended that Australia’s Great Barrier Reef be listed as “in danger” due to increased frequency of coral bleaching episodes caused by warming oceans—a direct result of human-caused climate change.
