This year was a big one for coral reefs and the Coral Reef Alliance!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the year comes to a close, we\u2019re looking back at the stories that resonated most. The ones that traveled farthest, sparked curiosity, and helped connect more people to the future of coral reefs. Over 120,000(!!) of you read our stories this year, and we can’t thank you enough for the support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Storytelling is central to CORAL\u2019s mission to reduce threats to reefs, strengthen resilience, and partner with communities worldwide. This collection brings together the articles that informed, inspired, and stayed with our community in 2025, alongside a few enduring favorites and the people behind the work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The People Behind the Work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Meet a few of the scientists, leaders, and changemakers driving CORAL\u2019s mission.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Behind every story is a person \u2014 and this year, we introduced you to several leaders and scientists shaping CORAL\u2019s work. From Dr. Helen Fox\u2019s science-forward leadership to Kristin\u2019s strategic impact role and Andrea\u2019s field-based research, these stories offer a closer look at the people turning conservation into action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carrying This Work Forward<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As we look ahead, we\u2019re reminded that protecting coral reefs isn\u2019t a one-time effort \u2014 it\u2019s sustained, collective action. Every story you read and share on the CORAL blog helps expand what\u2019s possible for reefs and the communities that depend on them. Thank you for being part of this work. If you\u2019d like to stay connected in the year ahead, subscribe to new stories from the field<\/a>. And as 2026 approaches, this is a final chance to support CORAL\u2019s work (and make a tax-smart gift<\/a>) this year. You can help us reduce threats, strengthen resilience, and scale solutions where they matter most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"Donate<\/a><\/span>
