Why Plant A Million Corals?
With 25-40% already lost, the worldwide coral population is in incredible danger.
But there is hope.
Dr. David Vaughan has been able to reproduce thousands of fast growing & resilient corals that can help to recover the lost reefs.
With your support, we can help to ensure the survival of our reefs globally.
Vision
To turn the tide of our oceans by saving our coral reefs
Mission Statement
- By the implementation of new coral and reef restoration technologies, we can stabilize and reverse the losses of reefs globally.
- By providing research, development, demonstration, training, education, and outreach projects in coral restoration technologies that can be implemented at a community level, we will have a global impact.
- By providing a platform for supporters to carry out the mission, we can make a real and measureable difference.
- Through these programs we can turn the tide of coral reefs at a speed and scale to save our oceans in our lifetime.

Why Are Corals Important?
Ocean Biodiversity
Fisheries depend on reefs for 25-40% of the catch globally.
Protect Our Coastlines
Reefs protect the shorelines from wave and storm damage – which can cause erosion!
Air Quality
Coral reefs are the rainforests of the sea, and along with ocean plants, produce a large amount of the oxygen we breath

Restoring 100 Year Old Coral in 2 Years
Through the process of micro-fragmentation, rapid growth and healing happen at rates 25-40x faster than they occur naturally on the reef! This has a huge impact on the rate at which we can save and recover the lost reefs!
Conservation Doesn’t Happen In Isolation
You don’t need to live near the ocean to help the ocean.
The global health of our seas affects everyone.
