The one number

91%

of the coral we plant survives its first year

Why it works.

01

Grown in protected nurseries

Fragments spend six months in calm water before they ever meet the reef.

02

Planted with local divers

The people who know each reef best do the planting.

03

Watched for five years

Every fragment is photographed and surveyed, and the results are public.

04

Protected by the community

Fishers are paid to keep nursery zones safe, so the reef is guarded all year.

Supporters

In their words.

“The fishing was failing. Two years after the nursery opened, my catch is back and my son wants to be a ranger.”

Daniel P.Fisher, Maui

“I gave ten dollars a month and received a photo of the exact reef my gift helped plant. I cried.”

Sophie L.Monthly supporter

“Our class adopted a reef. Eleven-year-olds who could not name a fish now argue about corals.”

James O.Teacher

Give the reef a future.

From $10 a month. Every dollar reported in public.
