Overview
Coral Vita started on a back porch in New Haven. Sam Teicher and Gator Halpern were grad students at the Yale School of the Environment when they met and forged a friendship over a shared passion for the ocean and the belief that there's a better, faster, and bigger way to combat global coral reef degradation -- and that creating a mission-based business is the way to achieve that vision.
