Surf & Turf

Where Gathering Does Good We turn live events into
lasting change

Scroll down

Surf & Turf is a global, nature-based restoration program powered by live events.

Through the power of music, sports, and community, Surf & Turf channels funding from live events directly into restoring critical ecosystems like reefs, wetlands, and grasslands that naturally build resilience and protect biodiversity. After three years of research, the results are clear: investing in nature-based restoration delivers the biggest impact for the planet, far outperforming high-tech solutions every time.

how it works

01

We've done the work
for you

We work with expert partners to curate high-impact restoration projects that promote positive change for communities and nature. We will also tailor your support to projects that reflect your specific goals and your fans’ ethos.
  • SECORE

    SECORE International is a global nonprofit restoring coral reefs through SExual COral REproduction. Grounded in rigorous science, they develop scalable methods, translating research into practical techniques that empower partners in the Caribbean and beyond to protect these vital ecosystems.

  • Rewild

    Founded by a group of renowned conservation scientists, Re:wild brings together Indigenous peoples, local communities, and governmental and non-governmental influential leaders to protect and rewild at the scale and speed nature needs.

  • MissionBlue

    Mission Blue inspires action to explore and protect the ocean. Mission Blue works to unite a global coalition to inspire an upwelling of public awareness, access and support for a worldwide network of marine protected areas. 

  • ZeroFoodprint

    Zero Foodprint aims to restore the climate one acre at a time. Partnering closely with local chefs, farmers, scientists and regional government Zero Foodprint is working to change the food system from the ground up.

  • Coral Nurture Program

    Taking on a new approach for the Great Barrier Reef the Coral Nurture Program is a collaborative partnership between the tourism and science communities, with the goal to transform both ecological and social resilience to environmental change.

  • GreenWave

    GreenWave’s goal is to support 10,000 farmers, catalyzing the scaled planting of regenerative ocean crops to yield meaningful economic and climate impacts. To scale, we focus on two program areas: Training and Innovation.
