REEF X MegaLab
We Can't Save What We Can't See
Did you know that the surface of Mars has been charted more than our own ocean floor? The cast majority of reefs are still a mystery and that needs to change. To protect them, we have to see them and properly map them.
Why Is Mapping Important?
Like rainbows, maps show us where the treasure is. And for us, that treasure is nature's most iconic surf breaks—worth riding and worth protecting.
Knowledge Is Power
Knowledge gives us the power to protect what matters. Mapping coral reefs helps preserve marine life, support a healthy planet, and understand the wave systems we ride. When science meets surf, the whole ocean benefits.
The Power Is Ours
Our partners at The Mega Lab are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit focused on ocean research and conservation.
Together with REEF and led by scientist, surfer, and professor Dr. Cliff Kapono, we're developing new technology to help protect the ocean and share it with the communities who need it most.
Our mission: reimagine environmental stewardship by mapping the world's best surf reefs and defending the places we love to play.

We Map 2 Adapt
Join the world's largest citizen scientist reef-mapping project. Together, we're aiming to chart 1,000,000 reefs by 2030 and train 10,000 new cartographers—so we adapt, protect, and build a better future.
