This is a way that you can help and also be a part of our mission.

Coral reefs worldwide are the most diverse marine ecosystems on the planet and are under threat by multiple anthropogenic factors including climate change, over-fishing, coastal development and pollution.

Even though coral reefs cover only 1% of the ocean, they provide 50% of the oxygen we need to survive.

By adopting a coral, you are contributing directly to the urgently needed conservation of coral reefs.

HOW DOES IT WORK

Sign Up

To Adopt A Coral,  you can sign up with our marine conservation team (currently paused during El Nino).

Transplanting

We schedule a dive to transplant your coral, tag, measure and photograph it for you.

Website

Your coral data and photograph gets submitted to The Coral Tribe website here so you can view the data online.

Transplantation

Over time, we measure its growth, take further photos and maintain it, with updates online.
