To support communities and practitioners in implementing impactful coral restoration projects
Our Vision
To have enabled the preservation of coral reefs through coral restoration
Our Story
Scaling up coral restoration
In 2017 we predicted that coral restoration would explode as climate change escalated. We launched the CRC to keep our community working in sync as our discipline boomed.
Eight years later, we are a neutral town hall dedicated to supporting communities and practitioners in implementing impactful coral restoration projects.
CRC Leadership team in 2020, planning for a bright and big future!
What we do
We facilitate those restoring their reefs because it is our passion, it is necessary work, and because we all ask the same question - how do we stop reefs from becoming the first marine ecosystem lost to climate change?
​
Connect and Coordinate: Unites the global restoration community to share knowledge and collaborate.
​
Advances Innovation: Supports cutting-edge science, tools, and scalable techniques.
​
Promotes Best Practices: Develops and distributes open-access resources for practitioners worldwide.
​
Focuses on Impact: Drives solutions that work across diverse environments and communities.
