How do we do it?
Promoting Diversity
We are safeguarding and promoting genetic diversity in coral populations around the world.
Scalable Methods
CRF is perfecting techniques for actively restoring coral reefs on an ecologically significant scale.
Tools & Resources
Our evolving methods and high-tech tools are accessible to the international restoration community.
Thought Leadership
We are working to advance ecosystem restoration science and collaboration in the field.
Community Empowerment
We are engaging the public in the mission and inspiring change.
Our Core Programs
We take a holistic, dynamic approach to coral reef restoration. With a focus on large-scale active restoration, informed by the latest research, and embedded in the community, the core pillars of our work are deeply interconnected and reinforce each other to amplify our impact.
Restoration
Taking an ecosystem-wide approach, we are restoring both abundance and genetic diversity to reefs in Florida and beyond.
Science & Technology
Our science program focuses on researching, developing, applying, and sharing best practices in coral restoration.
Education & Outreach
We provide practical, meaningful ways for everyone to learn about and get actively involved with our mission.

We believe coral restoration should be accessible to everyone.
That’s why we love working with @Diveheart to welcome adaptive divers into hands-on coral restoration.
These incredible divers help maintain our nurseries, monitor coral health, and outplant corals onto restored reefs — all through programs customized to their unique interests and goals.
Our goal is to break down barriers and create meaningful opportunities for everyone to engage in this important work.
We’ve had the privilege of working with adaptive divers of all ages, from school-aged children to adults, who have joined us from across the country.
It’s not just the adaptive divers who join us, it’s also their Diveheart buddies and family members. We create an environment where everyone can be involved and feel comfortable and confident in the water together.

Our St. Croix nursery just got a major upgrade.
Goodbye, PVC! 👋
We replaced all old nursery tables with custom-made rebar tables, crafted by a talented local metalist.
They’re stronger, cleaner, and a total game changer for managing biofouling and broodstock.

This spring, CRF™ joined an advanced coral spawning workshop at Nova Southeastern University.
We gained hands-on training in spawning, fertilization, larval care, and biosecurity — critical tools to help us scale in-situ coral propagation in our nurseries.
This work strengthens genetic diversity and improves restoration outcomes across Florida’s Coral Reef.
