YOU CAN HELP US
COLLECTING MEASUREMENT DATA FOR CORAL GROWTH RATES
This is a way that you can help and also be a part of our mission.
Coral reefs worldwide are the most diverse marine ecosystems on the planet and are under threat by multiple anthropogenic factors including climate change, over-fishing, coastal development and pollution.
Even though coral reefs cover only 1% of the ocean, they provide 50% of the oxygen we need to survive.
By adopting a coral, you are contributing directly to the urgently needed conservation of coral reefs.

WHY ADOPT A CORAL ?
By adopting a coral, you are contributing directly to the urgently needed conservation of coral reefs.
Since the program’s inception in 2015, we have been recording data from the corals, which allows other researchers to look closely at coral growth rates and health.
You will receive an adoption certificate with a picture of your coral and, depending on the tier you’ve subscribed to, you will receive regular photo’s and measurement of your coral.
When you support us, you have a direct impact on saving coral reefs.
