Help Save the Coral Reef Now!
Coral reefs have thrived on Earth for more than 50 million years. Recently, more than 27 percent of the world’s reefs have been lost or severely damaged, and another 32 percent may be destroyed by human activities in the next 30 years. Coral reefs are threatened by the massive increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide that is changing our climate and acidifying our oceans. Increases in sea surface temperatures, rising sea levels, and more frequent and severe storms negatively impact coral reefs, leading to bleaching as well as declines in biodiversity, coastal protection, and income from reef fisheries and tourism. Chronic stresses arising from such human activities as overfishing, pollution, and coastal development greatly reduce the reef's ability to thrive. By acting now, we give reefs a fighting chance to build the resiliency they need to stave off the effects of climate change and other human-induced stresses
With the generous support of people like you, CORAL has designed, tested, and proven the effectiveness of community-driven conservation. Through scientific evaluation and CORAL's own surveys of marine area managers, local community members, government leaders, and other stakeholders agree that the CRSD approach is the best chance we have to eliminate locally generated threats and promote lasting conservation*. You can help save the Coral Reefs by supporting CORAL through Swipe the Cause.
