NFTs and Coral Reef Conservation: The Vanishing Murals Initiative in Hawaii

Launching “Vanishing Murals: Hawai’i Ocean” NFT Collection to Benefit Coral Reef Conservation

Hawai’i native artist Jana Ireijo is set to make waves in the art and marine world with her groundbreaking environmental-focused NFT collection, “Vanishing Murals: Hawai’i Ocean.” This collection is a fundraiser for Fish Pono – Save Our Reefs, an initiative dedicated to restoring Hawai’i’s coral reefs. The fundraiser kicks off on October 25 at 6 pm Hawai’i Standard Time.

Jana Ireijo, with a background in fine art, has masterfully hand-painted each design on canvas before digitally transforming them into a collection of 60 dynamic NFTs to support Hawai’i’s oceans.

Featuring three distinctive designs – ‘Moemoeā,’ ‘Pilina, As Above So Below,’ and ‘Stay Wild, Uluwehi’ – this project creatively reflects the ever-changing conditions in Hawai’i’s marine realm and their impact on aquatic life. It carries a powerful environmental message: “By living ‘pono,’ in balance with nature, we ensure healthy reefs for future generations.” ‘Pono,’ in the Hawaiian language, conveys “righteousness and balance.”

Each NFT purchase donates 20% towards aiding Fish Pono-Save Our Reef in its educational campaign promoting responsible fishing and effective coral reef conservation. NFT holders will enjoy exclusive offerings, becoming esteemed members of a dedicated ocean advocacy community.

The Vanishing Murals: Hawai’i Ocean NFTs elegantly illustrate the concept of “vanishing.” When oceanic temperatures become risky, the graphics gently fade, and as sea temperature levels return to an optimal range, the NFTs come back to life. This showcases the well-being of Hawai’i’s ocean. Cutting-edge blockchain technology and environmental data, sourced from the Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System (PacIOOS), enable this captivating CryptoArt.

Artist Mark Cunningham, an ambassador for Fish Pono-Save Our Reefs, and other eco-conscious creators like Alohi Kai Jewelry by The Sea, Kōkua Sun Care, and Nadia Fairlamb have joined this charitable endeavor. The Vanishing Murals NFT project aims to strengthen bonds with like-minded individuals, fostering innovative, ocean-conscious products in the future and inspiring a broader community dedicated to cherishing and preserving our aquatic realms.

The NFT packages include three tiers: ‘Super Collector,’ ‘Collector,’ and ‘Supporter.’ Once a Vanishing Murals Hawai’i Ocean collectible is minted, ownership information is stored on the Ethereum blockchain for security.

Join this movement that blends CryptoArt and environmental advocacy to safeguard Hawai’i’s coral reefs and marine ecosystem. Contribute to the preservation of our maritime world and join a vibrant community dedicated to ecological integrity.
