Metro Mermaids Stake Pool TAILS mission is to restore and protect our oceans! We are a Great Lakes based charity focused Cardano Stake Pool with nodes operating in St. Louis, Missouri and Düsseldorf, Germany. We donate 50% of our stake pools monthly block rewards to Coral Restoration Foundation and Sea Shepherd.
"Many of us ask what can I, as one person, do, but history shows us that everything good and bad starts because somebody does something or does not do something."
- Sylvia Earle, Oceanographer
Coral reefs are complex and ancient habitats. -They have been a feature of life on Earth for around 500 million years.
They are a critical component of life in the ocean. Often referred to as “rainforests of the sea,” coral reef ecosystems are one of the most biodiverse in the world. Around 25% of all marine species rely on coral reefs, including sharks and sea turtles, crustaceans, and schooling fish. We currently stand to lose all shallow-water coral reefs by the end of this century.
This is why we donate 25% of our block rewards to Coral Restoration Foundation.
Our ocean and its inhabitants are dying from overfishing and habitat destruction.
Poachers plunder marine life sanctuaries with impunity, and illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing goes unchecked in the high seas far from public scrutiny. International and national laws protecting the world’s oceans are difficult to enforce. Sea Shepherd uses direct action to defend marine life on the high seas and works with national authorities to tackle illegal fishing in sovereign waters.
This is why we donate 25% of our block rewards to Sea Shepherd.
