About the Coral Restoration Consortium:

The Coral Restoration Consortium (CRC), founded in 2017, is a global community focused on reef restoration. We bring together scientists, decision-makers, and managers to help reefs survive the stress they face. Although coral restoration was originally a temporary solution, it has become essential for reef conservation in tropical areas. The science behind restoration is growing quickly, with many new methods being developed. At the CRC, we listen to the needs of restoration practitioners around the world, identify knowledge gaps, and elevate the practice of restoration by creating resources to improve restoration efforts. We connect people and organizations, share their stories, and provide resources freely. Our mission is to support practitioners and communities in implementing impactful coral restoration projects.
