June 1, 2022 Coral Extinction Update

We are designing, building and placing Rotary Reefs

“The Americas and teaching others how to replicate our programs.”

Rotary Reefs for the sea begins here.

Our mission requires that we address the concept of coral reef recovery through a holistic lens. Ocean ecosystems include the management and protection of resources, the quality of life for the plant, animal and human species that live within that ecosystem. This means that our organization is more than just “putting coral structures” in the water.

Our Top Priorities

Much of the ecosystem in which we reside continues to evolve — as a culture, as a result of climate change, infrastructure, governmental shifts in legislation — and so does how we implement our mission. The science of the sea doesn’t end with our impact strategy, and we view our projects as on-going experiments, so that the impact of our vision continues to make a difference, with results that help us continue to evolve our organization and it’s impact in the world.

Despite the passage of time and shifting ecosystems, our vision remains the same, with five important areas of impact by which we judge the effectiveness of our efforts.

How we accomplish that vision continues to evolve as we do.

How Does It Work?

Look Behind the Scenes

Saving the coral is more than just planting hunks of coral on the ocean floor and hoping for the best. Explore the process of reef restoration and coral species propagation. 

How Coral Restoration Works

Everything about our mission and our people begins with a profound love for the sea.

How we champion the cause; the rallying cry for our mission, for our programs, our dream to bring health and balance to the Bocas Del Toro ecosystem.

It explains our activism, our unmitigated desire to explore, protect and shepherd the sea. It is the siren song we sing to call our friends, talented team members, most impassioned supporters and advocates to our mission.

Selfie-taking mermaids, turtle conservationists, tourists and beach goers, researchers, artists, philanthropists, fishermen, boat captains, and anyone who’s ever felt their heart leap at the sight of the deep blue…

Love for the sea begins here.
