Let's All Join in and Make a Change!

You may be thinking, “What can I possibly do to help save the coral reefs?”
We did some research and found tons of websites that are dedicated to helping save the reefs.





Below is a list of websites that we found to be the best websites for this issue:

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has created a top 25 list of things you can do to save the coral reefs.

The Nature Conservancy is the leading conservation organization working around the world to protect ecologically important lands and waters for nature and people.

This website allows you to adopt a coral reef

More ways we can help through this website:

  • Become a member of the Nature Conservancy or donate money- which enables them to continue working on a scale that matters and implement solutions that endure 
  • Donate online: By giving an online donation you are providing essential funding for conservation initiatives that have been identified as needing the most support.
  • Become a member: By joining the Conservancy today, you will be welcomed into a family of dedicated individuals committed to saving the last great places on Earth.

* We have emailed Abigail Alling, the general information specialist of the Planetary Coral Reef Foundation (PCRF). The Planetary Coral Reef Foundation's mission is to "stop the destruction of the world's coral reefs by 2020 and restore their beauty, health and abundance within this century". The members of the PCRF are amazing people who are doing all they can to help save these amazing coral reefs. We asked Abigail for more information about coral reefs in general and the danger they are in. We also asked her what we could do to help out. We are excited to hear back from her.
