From Dominica to French Polynesia, Beyond Green properties are actively restoring and protecting coral ecosystems through on-the-ground programs - reinforcing the brand's commitment to sustainable travel as a force for good. NEW YORK, June 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In recognition of World Oceans Day, Beyond Green, a global community of bold leaders advancing sustainable travel, is highlighting the meaningful action being taken across its portfolio. Beyond Green member properties globally are committed to protecting the world’s oceans through meaningful coral reef conservation initiatives. Often referred to as the “rainforests of the sea,” coral reefs support approximately 25% of all marine life while covering less than 1% of the ocean - making them among the most vital yet vulnerable ecosystems on the planet. Increasingly threatened by climate change, coral bleaching, pollution, overfishing, and coastal development, these ecosystems are under unprecedented pressure. Below are select coral reef protection initiatives led by Beyond Green member properties and partners: <ul type="circle"><li style="margin-bottom:8pt;"><a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=1bZzIqjfKbNRJnibHWaubqfQFrP05oXvJ0gsESrfWSGb49HBYAeecaCa0WJKOlrTseHvd0zBR_Ek6RFTAhAiuRKEybU714smnamGpnJtx8ee1_MVXb5ZF94-xZqwU15PmjgxqlVtqSBBiGjjQhJA_A==" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="">andBeyond Mnemba Island</a> (Zanzibar, Tanzania): Set just off the coast of Zanzibar, andBeyond Mnemba Island is a private island sanctuary renowned for its coral reefs and scenic diving. At its heart is a commitment to marine conservation through the Reef Stars project - a scientifically-driven initiative developed by Oceans Without Borders (OWB), the marine conservation program founded by andBeyond and Wild Impact in 2018. Using the Mars Assisted Reef Restoration System (MARRS), the project directly addresses the impact of the February 2024 global mass coral bleaching event on Mnemba Island's reefs. Specially designed hexagonal frames - "reef stars" - are built locally by community members and deployed to stabilise coral rubble, encouraging natural recruitment and providing a surface for nursery-grown coral fragments. Since the program November 2025 training milestone, 101 reef stars have been deployed within the Mnemba Island Marine Special Area, already showing renewed ecological activity. Guests can join marine rangers to attach coral fragments to reef star frames before deployment - a hands-on contribution to restoring one of Zanzibar's most vital marine ecosystems. </li><li style="margin-bottom:8pt;"><a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=1bZzIqjfKbNRJnibHWaubqkfcIsARJG76jdokGva7of856ZpFSwR1J3mtGB1wFgsqIxMz7rZ-VFcRDbmbcvMyqDSDzo1YfUYrl5BwHFK2krktyYI2Sq24dQ2KpuVJfqtWoziG3zbIySbVm6UsAa79mHTZVRawlYLqxWF9Xpb4b57HdHEE_RAq4AHAlvUGHyXLH6iRC5gL5p5uSlQT8VDlw==" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="">Corcovado Wilderness Lodge by SCP</a> (Bahia Drake, Costa Rica): Located within Costa Rica’s remote Corcovado National Park and surrounded by 450,000 acres of protected reserves, Corcovado Wilderness Lodge by SCP offers a palm-lined Pacific beach, refined accommodations, a spa and pool, and immersive outdoor experiences.
