Coral reefs are dying

Tropical coral reefs are the most diverse marine ecosystems on earth, giving shelter to thousands of animal species. Many people depend on fisheries, tourism and coastal protection provided by healthy coral reefs. Yet today, coral reefs are dying at an alarming rate all around the globe.

The SECORE strategy for coral conservation

We need a holistic approach to save our coral reefs. SECORE is a global network of scientists, public aquarium professionals and local stakeholders. We use a multidisciplinary strategy combining research, education, outreach and active reef restoration for the conservation of coral reefs.

The work of SECORE

SECORE and partners initially started restoration work in Curacao, and have expanded to the Philippines, Mexico and Guam. Our first aim is large-scale restoration as part of a sustainable coral reef conservation strategy. Through education and outreach programs we reach local communities as well as the general public.
