Mombasa Launches Coral Restoration Swim with 3D-Printed Reefs

Mombasa hosted the Coral Builder Swim on November 2, 2025—athletes swam to deploy 3D-printed, pH-neutral reef structures seeded with coral polyps. Over 300 participants helped install 120 units; KMFRI monitors growth. Your stroke builds a forest—underwater, said Dr. Salim Ali. Safaricom matched KSh 200 per unit. UNEP cited it as a blue innovation model. Annual event confirmed.
