None of this would be possible without you. Join us in protecting Florida’s Coral Reef for future generations.
Live Coral Cam
Florida’s Coral Reef is not only environmentally crucial but also economically vital.
But our reef is under severe threat from invasive lionfish, disease, and climate change. Stony coral tissue loss disease has ravaged the reef for years, and recent summers have seen water temperatures more like a bathtub than a healthy ocean.
As a result, vast sections of the reef are now dead.
We are committed to sustainably rescuing and restoring
Florida’s
Coral Reef
With partners, the Fish & Wildlife Foundation of Florida funds the world’s largest collection of rescued Florida corals, the future of our reef. Caring for these corals and breeding new babies are crucial for our ocean, its fisheries, and Floridians.
We also fund innovation in restoration efforts via our Freedom to Fail grant
allowing researchers to push boundaries without fear of failure and to shift from a focus on quantity to quality in coral restoration.
And we provide emergency funding for organizations responding to marine heatwaves, including removing corals from the water and caring for them on land.
