Coral Restoration - Bocas del Toro Archipelago

You've seen the headlines: the ocean's really hot right now, and the corals can't take it. We need to do everything we can to rescue the survivors and protect them in cooled tanks until they can go back home. The technology exists to save ocean ecosystems and re-establish the balance of bio-diversity.

Caribbean Coral Restoration Center (CCRC) needs to raise additional funds immediately to hire more local assistants and purchase equipment. With this boost, they'll be able to transplant millions of proven resilient corals to restore degraded reefs and fish habitat.

The key equipment needed is coral spawning labs from https://www.coralspawninglab.org/ and batteries for the solar-powered water circulation systems that cool the isolation tanks.

About Caribbean Coral Restoration Center

CCRC is dedicated to the recovery of coral reefs in Bocas del Toro archipelago. Their coral restoration efforts have made life-changing improvements, not only for marine ecosystems, but also for local indigenous communities by providing employment and increasing the fisheries.

Healthy, resilient corals save lives. Indigenous families in the Bocas del Toro Panama islands have been severely impacted by the loss of Marine ecosystems in their native environment.

Here is how CCRC works:
