How do we do it?
Promoting Diversity
We are safeguarding and promoting genetic diversity in coral populations around the world.
Scalable Methods
CRF is perfecting techniques for actively restoring coral reefs on an ecologically significant scale.
Tools & Resources
Our evolving methods and high-tech tools are accessible to the international restoration community.
Thought Leadership
We are working to advance ecosystem restoration science and collaboration in the field.
Community Empowerment
We are engaging the public in the mission and inspiring change.
Our Core Programs
We take a holistic, dynamic approach to coral reef restoration. With a focus on large-scale active restoration, informed by the latest research, and embedded in the community, the core pillars of our work are deeply interconnected and reinforce each other to amplify our impact.
Restoration
Taking an ecosystem-wide approach, we are restoring both abundance and genetic diversity to reefs in Florida and beyond.
Science & Technology
Our science program focuses on researching, developing, applying, and sharing best practices in coral restoration.
Education & Outreach
We provide practical, meaningful ways for everyone to learn about and get actively involved with our mission.
The only kind of traffic we like! 🤿🐟🐠🐟🐠🐟🐠🐟🐠🐟🐠🐟🐠🐟🐠
Schools of fish, vibrant coral reefs, and marine life everywhere you look - this is what a healthy ocean is supposed to feel like.
If there’s traffic below the surface, we’re doing something right 🪸

Genetic diversity of corals enables populations to better rebound after disturbances, and to maintain the critical roles they play on reefs and our blue planet. 🪸🌎

This Earth Day, we`re putting a new spin on tree planting... 🌱 🌊
Our coral “trees” help grow corals before they`re returned to the reef. Same idea as planting on land, just a little saltier.
It may look different from planting trees, but the goal is the same: restoring ecosystems that support life and communities. 🌳 🪸
Happy Earth Day 🌎 🌍 🌏

How will you be celebrating the OCEAN on Earth Day?
The ocean makes life on Earth possible, and it needs our help now more than ever.
We celebrate every day by actively restoring coral reefs in the Florida Keys, St. Croix and beyond 🌎 🌍 🌏
#CoralRestoration #EarthDay #SaveTheReef
Earth Day is every day 🌎
Protecting our planet is not a single moment. For us, it is a daily commitment to restoring reefs, working together for a healthier ocean and safeguarding the ecosystems that sustain us all.
Caring for our planet starts with consistent action.

Drop a 🪸 in the comments if you love CORAL!
We grow and outplant a wide range of coral species, including hundreds of unique genotypes. This genetic diversity helps reefs better adapt to changing ocean conditions.
Because, more coral diversity = more resilient reefs 🩵
