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.

Why don’t we focus on coral restoration? It’s a question we, at CORAL, have been asked time and time again. We address overfishing, minimize water pollution, support local communities, and lead cutting-edge research on coral adaptation to climate change…but we don’t generally work on coral restoration projects. Our decision comes down to the fact that…
