ABOUT US

GOLD OCEAN CONSERVATIONIST

OUR MISSION

We protect Thailand's marine environment through our direct conservation and plantation efforts of corals nationwide. Our youth-based projects offer an immersive and educational experience to inspire future generations about the importance of reef restoration. We strive to help plant the future. 

WE NEED YOU TO CARE FOR CORAL

Coral reefs play an essential role in our ecosystem, yet, they are being depleted at a faster rate than ever due to anthropogenic influences. Coral reefs cover less than 1% of the oceanic floor, yet they generate 50% of the oxygen we breathe and absorb 33% of the carbon dioxide we generate. Reefs are the very basis of biodiversity, without them, the marine environment would simply cease to exist, destroying billions of livelihoods.

Care for Coral is happy to announce that we have reached a compromise with the DMCR, allowing us to help construct artificial reefs and trial the bottle nursery method.  The DMCR has approved our updated proposal.
