Coral Restoration Foundation

The Coral Restoration Foundation™ (CRF™) team is a dedicated group of marine scientists, divers, and ocean advocates working to restore our planet’s coral reefs. Through large-scale cultivation and outplanting of reef-building corals, CRF™ is actively bringing the Florida Reef Tract back to life while inspiring global ocean stewardship.
