100% of your money goes to support coral reef conservation.
Every cent goes towards planting corals, coral research for "Super Corals" ability to withstand climate change and for advanced materials in the substrates for coral micro-fragmentation methods.
Coral Reefs, coral scientists join reef fish, turtles, sharks, dolphins and other sea creatures in thanking you for your efforts to Save Our Oceans!
First Planting site is located in the Marine Protected Area off the island of St. Maarten, in the Caribbean.
The Nature Foundation is a non-profit, non-governmental organization located on the island of St. Maarten in the heart of the Caribbean. The foundation aims to preserve and enhance the natural environment of St. Maarten for generations to come.
Over twenty species of coral shelter an uncounted number of fish species. Seagrass beds are breeding grounds for lobster and conch, and provide food for the endangered Hawksbill, Green and Leatherback turtle that nest on St. Maarten beaches.
