Rebalance Earth, the UK-based asset manager pioneering investment in Nature as infrastructure, has established a strategic partnership with Oyster Heaven, a leading marine restoration company.
By providing the capital to get projects off the ground, Rebalance Earth enables Oyster Heaven to develop the infrastructure and capacity needed to restore oyster reefs at scale. This supports further investment in restoration from companies who recognise the importance of the services these ecosystems provide — from cleaner water to stronger coastal protection
“Oyster Heaven’s expertise and innovative approach complement our mission to make Nature a core part of the global economic system,” said Rob Gardner, CEO and Co-founder of Rebalance Earth. “This partnership represents a shared commitment to demonstrating how Nature can be restored, valued, and financed in ways that deliver lasting benefits to businesses, communities, and the environment.”
“Businesses and our society are starting to value nature properly and are prepared to pay for it. We are realising that just like we shouldn’t value smartphones based on the scrap metal they are made from, we shouldn’t value oysters by their protein,” said George Birch, Founder of Oyster Heaven. “Our first large-scale project in the UK will demonstrate the value these brave organic machines can bring to our coastlines and show that there is a real business model behind investing in Nature.”
Together, Rebalance Earth and Oyster Heaven are building a blueprint for how finance and ecological innovation can work hand-in-hand to accelerate the transition to a resilient, Nature-positive economy.
