Adopt vs Donate: Differences

Adopting a coral directly supports the growth and restoration of coral reefs by nurturing a baby coral fragment until it's ready to enrich the ocean's biodiversity.

Donating, however, provides broader support for our mission, including research, technology, and the vital work of our coral gardeners.

Who is Coral Gardeners ?

Coral Gardeners is dedicated to saving coral reefs through innovative coral farming and transplantation.

Founded in 2017, we aim to restore damaged reefs and inspire global communities.

By adopting a coral, you support our mission to protect and rejuvenate these crucial marine habitats.

Join us in making a difference for our oceans!

Coral reefs are the most biodiverse and valuable ecosystems on our planet, yet they are one of the most impacted by climate change and human pressures, in peril of going extinct by 2050.

WE ARE

REVOLUTIONIZING

OCEAN CONSERVATION

AND CREATING

A GLOBAL MOVEMENT

TO SAVE THE REEF

HOW DOES THE ADOPTION WORK?

It all starts with a baby coral fragment. Your adoption will enable us to collect a fragment from a resilient coral species in the lagoon and place it in our nursery, where it will grow big and strong. After a little over a year, your matured coral will be outplanted onto the natural reef to bring back life and biodiversity to the ocean.

02. Personalize

03. Track

04. Plant

What a cool project!! Everything went smoothly and everybody was so sweet

Easy to Help HEAL

The make it easy to help heal the planet that as humans we have destroyed, every little gesture matters and positive wave-lengths can be huge. We can all do our best and this one of the best alternatives I’ve found. You can also make a difference!

Saving our seas!

I think it‘s a very good oppotunity to get to know more about corals and doing something for our planet at the same time :)

Coral Gardeners rock!

I happily and without a doubt adopted a coral: this a such an important initiative and I hope the Coral Gardeners will be able to keep doing their impressive work. You go people! A big shoutout and love from The Netherlands, Mariëtte
