A good idea gone wrong

HOW RESTORING CORAL BECAME AN ECOLOGICAL DISASTER

In the 1970s, ocean conservationists tried to build the world’s longest artificial coral reef using more than two million old car tires. Sadly, the restoration project failed and loose tires have been migrating across the seafloor and damaging crucial coral habitat ever since.

Let’s rewrite history

SUPPORT THE OSBORNE REEF TIRE CLEANUP

The Osborne Reef Tire Cleanup is our chance to rewrite ocean conservation history, recover these tires from the bottom of the ocean, and protect the same coral reefs they were trying to save all those years ago.

This black macrame bracelet is hand braided using 100% recycled plastic cord. Designed to represent the tires we’re recovering from the Osborne Reef, the tire-shaped bezel is filled with verified 100% crumb rubber from tires that our crews recovered directly from the Osborne Reef.

The 4ocean Osborne Reef Bracelet comes in a black tin container.
