A global alliance of innovators, artists, and scientists.
Based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and spanning the Gulf Coast, we're transforming waste into sustainable infrastructure that supports coral reefs and coastal communities.
Rooted in the Philippines.
Developed by Dr. Harald Kremnitz (Austria) and Benjamin Tayag Jr. (Philippines), REEFBUDS® has been successfully deployed in the Philippines since 2007 across more than 11,000 units. PoH Farms holds exclusive global rights and is leading eff orts to adapt REEFBUDS® for the Gulf Coast using Louisiana sourced waste streams.
