The goal of the SAFE Coral Program  is for all threatened and endangered corals to begin to recover throughout their natural range to where they experience successful natural reproduction and recruitment.

​

Our program focuses on reef-building corals (scleractinia), a highly diverse group of animals, comprising nearly 800 species, with new discoveries every year. They create the scaffolding that supports a myriad of other organisms that live on and around reefs, including more than a billion people who rely upon them for their livelihood. Thus, the work of the SAFE Coral program extends beyond the reefs, enhancing a foundation that supports genetic diversity and biodiversity across many interconnected ecosystems: mangrove forests, seagrass beds, sand and rubble zones and others.​​​

The work of the SAFE Coral Program is driven by our                                  . We collaborate to advance coral conservation science, research and coral reef restoration. Together, we are inspiring the next generation of coral champions through their messaging and storytelling.
