RODA SmartSwimwear’s mission is to protect ocean ecosystems and help preserve coral reefs.
As part of this commitment, we adopt a coral in your name to support the work of Coral Gardeners — a pioneering organization dedicated to coral reef restoration.
CORAL REEFS ARE THE MOST BIODIVERSE AND VALUABLE ECOSYSTEMS ON OUR PLANET, YET THEY ARE ONE OF THE MOST IMPACTED BY CLIMATE CHANGE AND HUMAN PRESSURES, IN PERIL OF GOING EXTINCT BY 2050
We invite you to join our mission
The use of certain UV filters found in sunscreens poses a risk to marine ecosystems and biodiversity, particularly in fragile environments such as coral reefs.
Coral Bleaching: Common UV filters, including oxybenzone and octinoxate, can contribute to coral bleaching by disrupting the photosynthesis of zooxanthellae — the algae that corals rely on for survival. As a result, corals lose their color, weaken, and reefs become less capable of supporting marine biodiversity.
