Mission

Coral Restoration Foundation™ (CRF) is the world’s largest non-profit marine conservation organization dedicated to restoring coral reefs to a healthy state, in Florida as well as globally. Headquartered in the Florida Keys, CRF was incorporated in 2007 in response to the widespread loss of the dominant coral species on the Florida's Coral Reef, the third largest barrier reef in the world. CRF’s core mission is to restore coral reefs, to educate others on the importance of our oceans, and to use science to further coral research and coral reef monitoring techniques. Large-scale and massive action is required to save our reefs. After more than a decade of successful outplanting throughout the Florida Keys, CRF has proven that this is possible.
