College Football Playoff, NFL, and the University of Miami Collaborated on Coral Restoration of "100 Yards of Hope" Site
The collaborative effort removed 5,000 pounds of ocean waste and replanted corals to restore reef resilience after the 2023 bleaching event, researchers said.
- On Feb. 4, 2026, the CFP's Playoff Green partnered with the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science to carry out coral restoration in South Florida waters.
- Because the reef was hit hard in 2023, the 100 Yards of Hope site required follow-up after NFL Green's 100 Yards of Hope project from Super Bowl LIV in February 2020.
- Scientists' assessments guided a Rescue a Reef expedition that included coral replanting after reconnaissance dives and re-surveys, informing reef recovery efforts.
- The CFP officials said the project left a tangible legacy, and NFL representatives framed it as part of NFL Green and social responsibility efforts.
- Playoff Green's 'Year of the Ocean' campaign, during the 2026 Championship, demonstrated how sports organizations, researchers, and volunteers can support ocean conservation.
