Krista Shoe
Fully-Functional Reefs
Krista is a ‘Mother of Corals’, the foundation she founded in 2020 to help communities build artificial reefs for coral restoration. Krista spent years in the corporate world, and spent the majority of her vacation time traveling to remote places to go scuba diving.
In 2017, she ‘flipped the script’, quit corporate, and moved to Bocas del Toro, Panama. There, her passion for the ocean and how to help it took an exponential leap. Mother of Corals has built artificial reefs in the Caribbean and Pacific Ocean while teaching best practices to communities in order to engage citizen scientists in the fight to restore coral reefs.
