Coral Fragmentation & Outplanting

We work with partner organizations to regrow endangered staghorn and elkhorn corals. Healthy fragments are attached to custom-built structures, where they flourish into reef-building colonies. This “coral gardening” boosts biodiversity and strengthens the reef’s ability to withstand storms and climate stress.

A better environment

In collaboration with local and regional partners, we support the restoration of endangered branching corals such as staghorn (Acropora cervicornis) and elkhorn (Acropora palmata). Healthy coral pieces are carefully fragmented, grown in controlled conditions, and later attached to underwater structures where they can expand into new, reef-building colonies. This “coral gardening” approach accelerates natural recovery, increases habitat complexity, and strengthens the reef’s ability to withstand storms, disease, and warming seas. By combining scientific monitoring with hands-on restoration, we help give these iconic species—and the ecosystems that depend on them—a renewed chance to thrive.
