Family Sells London Home to Move to the Smallest African Country and Save Their Coral Reefs

The Seath family plans to repopulate coral reefs in the Seychelles through “micro-fragmentation” farming and a new nonprofit, Coral Reef Conservation UK.

Social & Lifestyle

Rather than continue living a comfortable urban life, this British family has sold their London home in favor of launching the world’s smallest nature reserve to save a nation’s coral reef system.

Karolina and Barry Seath—along with their two young daughters—are preparing to move to an island in the Seychelles measuring just 1,300 feet long by 980 feet wide (400 by 300 meters).

They’ve launched a charity and teamed up with local biologists in a bid to revitalize the coral reefs in the smallest African country, which have been devastated by rising sea temperatures.
