Coral Restoration Foundation is a non-profit conservation organization dedicated to restoring coral reefs. We promote hands-on salvage of orphaned coral fragments and short-term care and growth in permitted offshore nursery sites. CRF is the continuation of a successful staghorn coral nursery and transplantation program initiated by Ken Nedimyer in the Florida Keys and the result of the re-organization of the former Keys Marine Conservancy.
