Coral Gardener is an organization dedicated to the restoration and conservation of coral reefs. We cultivate and transplant corals to damaged reefs to help restore marine biodiversity and ecosystem health. Your adoption will enable us to collect a fragment from a resilient coral species in the wild and place it in our nurseries, where it will grow to maturity. After over a year, your coral will then be outplanted onto a degraded reef to help revitalize the ocean ecosystem. WHAT’S THE ADOPTION PROCESS? When you adopt a coral, you become part of an important mission to restore our ocean's ecosystems. Here's what happens next: Step 1: Your Adoption BeginsAfter adopting your coral, you'll receive a beautiful digital certificate perfect for sharing on social media. You can track all your coral adoptions through your personal profile on the Track My Coral page. Step 2: Nursery GrowthAs soon as we fill a nursery with new coral fragments, we'll assign specific fragments to adoptions. This means you'll be able to see and track your actual coral fragment as it grows in our underwater nursery. Step 3: Reef RestorationWhen your coral fragment reaches maturity, our marine experts will carefully transplant it onto damaged reef areas. This crucial step helps revitalize the reef and strengthen the entire marine ecosystem. Throughout this process, you'll receive personal updates from our field team about your coral's growth and impact. www.coralgardeners.org
