Thank you—your purchase supports coral reef conservation efforts around the world!
Did you know that scientists predict that all coral reefs will be threatened by 2050? But there is still reason for hope. Scientific research shows that coral reefs can adapt to the effects of climate change if given the right conditions such as clean water, health fisheries, and intact ecosystems.
By saving coral reefs from the effects of climate change, you help more than a million marine species and support countless communities that depend on coral reefs for food, income, and coastal protection.

The Hidden Costs of Untreated Wastewater
We are committed to protecting the world’s coral reefs, which support 25% of all marine species and sustain the livelihoods of millions worldwide. This work is challenging. Reefs face many threats, from overfishing to climate-driven coral bleaching. Yet one of the most serious—and often overlooked—threats is untreated wastewater, a growing global problem that increasingly endangers…

How Fish Biomass Supports Healthy Coral Reefs
Imagine a coral reef without fish—silent, unbalanced, and struggling to survive. Fish biomass, the total weight of fish in an ecosystem, is essential for healthy reefs. From parrotfish grazing on algae to sharks keeping prey populations in check, every species plays a role. But when overfishing, habitat destruction, or climate change disrupt this delicate balance,…

Whales, Coral Reefs, and the Future of Our Oceans
Coral reefs and whales may seem like distant neighbors in the ocean, but they are deeply connected in ways that impact the entire marine ecosystem. From providing food sources to supporting biodiversity, coral reefs play a crucial role in sustaining whale populations. Understanding this relationship helps us see how ocean conservation efforts must consider the…
