Gift Cards That Plant SeaTrees

Plant a mangrove tree for the ocean lover in your life - it's the perfect last minute gift!

This gift card helps support the local communities in Mida Creek, Watamu Kenya to plant mangrove SeaTrees to restore coastal ecosystems.

Every mangrove you help to plant:

• Provides sustainable employment and generates economic opportunities for the communities in the Mida Creek area. Community members are then able to provide meals to their families, pay for school fees, and gain access to health care with wages earned through mangrove nursery management.
• Helps to protect Mida Creek from storm-surges and sea-level rise
• Creates critical habitat for threatened species including Green sea turtles.
• Helps protect the surrounding coral reefs from sediment runoff
• Sequesters carbon in one of the most efficient ways possible. In fact, mangrove forests are 5x more effective at storing carbon than tropical forests.

Note: If your recipient doesn't receive a gift email, please have them check their "promotions" section.

Tax Deductible: SeaTrees is a program of 501c3 non-profit Sustainable Surf - meaning that Planting and Restoring SeaTrees is tax-deductible in the USA. Keep your donation receipt.

Gift someone an #oceanpositive year by wiping out their carbon footprint! The perfect gift for the ocean lover in your life. 

To do this, we'll plant mangrove trees in Mida Creek, Kenya, and protect a REDD+, VERRA and CCBA certified, "ridge to reef" watershed project in the Southern Cardamom Mountains in Cambodia -  in order to wipe out the carbon footprint of your giftee.

For the USA, the estimated carbon footprint is based on direct energy use (electricity, natural gas), transportation (auto, air, public) and the embodied emissions from goods and services purchased throughout the year. 

More info on the USA footprint calculations can be found here.

For other countries, the estimated carbon footprint is based on the annual per-capita footprint of each country (compiled by the International Energy Agency). 

Instead of using an overly complex carbon calculator, we use the average footprint of your country/region as the best representation of someone's climate impact. This method is a more realistic estimate because it also includes indirect energy consumption of infrastructure and services.

If you feel that footprint of the person you are buying this gift for is significantly higher than average, then please use a reputable carbon calculator, such as this one from the United Nations, and then buy SeaTrees Tokens to wipe out the specific number of tons that you require.

Give the gift of a healthier ocean with our Coral Planting Gift Card! Plant a coral reef in the name of the ocean lover in your life.

This gift card helps restore the degraded coral reefs off the coast of the Nusa Penida region of Bali, Indonesia.

Each piece of coral you help us grow:

• Provides sustainable employment for the people in the Nusa Penida region of Bali, Indonesia - at a time when the pandemic had devastated Bali’s tourism-based economy
• Supports over a dozen local families
• Creates critical habitat for 500+ species

Your piece of coral will be grown in the Ped Acropora Coral Nursery until it is transplanted onto the reefs and monitored until the coral reef rebuilds, and marine life returns to the area. This will rapidly restore biodiversity to the reef and create a new thriving ecosystem.

The conservation of these ecosystems is vital to coastal protection, scientific research, medication, fishing, eco-tourism, and more.
