00:00From ash to coral, the underwater legacy that revives our oceans.

00:05Just like the mythical phoenix that rises from the ashes,

00:08the oceans, currently degraded by human action,

00:11can find a new beginning.

00:14But this time, that rebirth can come from our own ashes.

00:19A report on the website Um Só Planeta highlights the innovative proposal

00:23from the British startup Hasting Reef,

00:26who is revitalizing the funeral industry with a unique idea,

00:29transform human ashes into underwater artificial reefs.

00:33Hasting Reef offers a different kind of memorial.

00:37The ashes are combined with ground oyster shells and concrete,

00:41shaped into reef structures that actively promote marine life.

00:46Aura Pérez, one of the founders, explains the philosophy behind the initiative

00:51cemeteries should reconnect us with nature

00:53and remind us that we are part of a larger ecosystem.

00:56The process uses aquamation,

00:59an alternative to traditional cremation that uses alkaline solutions.

01:03The resulting material is 3D printed,

01:07creating different shapes with textures and tunnels

01:09which serve as shelter for several marine species.

01:13Once ready,

01:14the reefs are installed at about 10 meters depth,

01:18contributing to the regeneration of biodiversity,

01:20water filtration and prevention of coastal erosion.

01:23Each structure has the potential to capture up to 2.2 million kilos

01:29of carbon dioxide in 3 years.

01:32From pets to humans

01:34The Resting Riff initiative started in Bali last year,

01:39with the creation of 24 reefs using pet ashes.

01:44The success was so remarkable that the company is now expanding

01:47to include human ashes.

01:48The funeral sector needs to change, says Pérez,

01:52we want to transform the death industry

01:54into one that promotes life and growth.

01:57The results in Bali are impressive.

02:00Areas with coral reefs are home to 12 times more marine life

02:04than places without them,

02:05attracting 59 different species.

02:08The company's goal goes beyond offering a dignified farewell,

02:12we seek a legacy that literally gives new life to the oceans.

02:16Now the company is in the licensing process

02:20to install artificial reefs on the Plaima of Breakwater,

02:24located in the south of England.

02:27Recognition and awards

02:28This environmentally conscious proposal

02:31has already achieved international recognition.

02:34Resting Riff was the winner of the Terra Carta Design Lea B,

02:38a competition created by King Charles III

02:40and by designer Johnny Eve,

02:42in addition to having received a scholarship from INU Veit Yuki.

02:46The founders were also included

02:48on the prestigious Forbes Tirt and Under Tirt list

02:51in the Social Impact category.

02:54This innovation offers a new perspective

02:56about life and death,

02:58uniting the memory of loved ones

02:59with the vitality of our oceans.
