Saving the World's Coral Reefs

Every day, those of us at CORAL give thanks to reefs for all they provide: beauty, food, storm protection, livelihoods, and more. And we give back by working tirelessly—with your support—to protect them.

For example, today, thanks to your partnership with CORAL, there are:

• More sharks in the Namena Marine Reserve . . .
• Recovering fish populations in Roatan’s Sandy Bay-West End Marine Reserve and Maui’s Kahekili Herbivore Fisheries Management Area . . .
• Significant new protections for some of the Mesoamerican Reef’s most spectacular coral habitats and for sharks and rays in parts of the Coral Triangle . . .
• Commitments from many groups in Hawai‘i, including government officials and hotel staff, to address head-on the problems caused for reefs by wastewater . . .
• Programs in Honduras, Fiji, and Indonesia where dive tourism directly funds conservation and community initiatives, providing compelling incentives for locals to protect their reefs . . .
• People who have changed their behaviors—whether while diving on a reef, decorating their homes, or planning for their new fish tank—to reduce their impact on coral reefs . . .

As our second decade comes to a close, we know that we have many reasons to be thankful for reefs and what we have accomplished for them . . . and even more reasons to be committed to doing even more in the year—and years—to come.

Thank you for your support.  And best “fishes” for a wonderful 2015!
