Mission Statement

Coral Restoration Foundation is a nonprofit conservation organization dedicated to restoring coral reefs. In 2007, we began restoring reefs in the Florida Keys and now continue our efforts on a global level. We develop and implement effective strategies to restore and protect coral reefs. We seek to inspire, educate, and empower others to apply these restoration techniques in their own coastal communities.

About This Cause

Coral Restoration Foundation maintains a network of seven coral nurseries in the Florida Keys, the largest such network in the world. Our restoration methods are simple, cost-effective and allow us to grow and outplant a number of threatened coral species at a scale large enough to make a positive difference for our reefs. Our organization is restoring our oceans - one reef at a time. CRF is the only organization restoring reefs to a level that meets or exceeds guidelines set forth in NOAA's Acropora recovery plan. The time to take action for our oceans is now. CRF provides the opportunity for everyday individuals to make a difference for our reefs by lending their time, skills, and financial support to our restoration efforts. We seek to educate others on the importance of our oceans and we utilize science to inform our monitoring and restoration efforts. We engage individuals from across the country in our restoration activities, averaging 14,000 volunteer hours each year. We also operate an intern program to engage college students and recent graduates in coral restoration, community outreach, and non-profit management.
