Raising awareness on the importance of corals

Raising awareness to better protect and restore.

Current awareness programs

Raising awareness among local populations

Fishing and tourism are the main sources of income for the local communities we work with. Our aim is to work with these communities to understand together the importance of coral ecosystems to them in terms of food and economic resources, and the importance of implementing sustainable activities to restore these damaged ecosystems while providing for their needs.

We develop local tools to help raise awareness among both children and adults, and among tourists and boat captains.

We believe that the more we collaborate with local communities around issues linked to coral ecosystem degradation, and the more we protect locally, the more resilient corals will be when faced with global pressures as they will be under less local pressure.

Our international “Adopt a coral” program

Learn about our participatory marine conservation programme that allows everyone to help preserve the ocean. Because the sum of small efforts can create a powerful movement for change.

By adopting a coral, you receive an adoption certificate (or a gift code to pass on to a friend!) of a coral that contributes to the restoration of a damaged reef area. Accompanied by an optional monthly donation starting at only 2€, this small gesture for the environment also contributes to the support of local populations as well as to the maintenance and monitoring of the marine protected area.

Adopt your own coral

CORAL exhibition

It is often difficult to raise awareness for a cause that seems far removed from our daily lives. The CORAL exhibition immerses its visitors in a world of damaged reefs, committed fishermen and restored reefs… A message that is both urgent and full of hope.

The exhibition is currently available at the Aquarium de St Malo and Aquarium de Biarritz.

Raise awareness kit

We have developed a ‘raise awareness’ kit available to anyone wishing to make people aware of the importance of coral reefs and the dangers they face. The kit includes a quiz of 8 questions and answers, a speech already written out for you, a fact sheet on corals and restoration techniques, videos, as well as various tools to help you give a small presentation. So far, the kit has been used by people of all ages in schools, diving centers, youth hostels and companies. Contact us to find out more!

I’m interested in receiving the kit!

Raising awareness in schools on islands in the Pacific with MOANA

We support the skipper Lomano Takasi in his MOANA project: a mythical race for the Mini-Transat 2021 as well as a Trans-Pacifika in 2022. We are assisting Lomano in the development of an awareness kit on the importance of coral reefs, which he will use to raise awareness in schools on islands in the Pacific. Coral Guardian and Lomano share the motivation to champion the cause of coral reefs in the Pacific by proposing realistic and optimistic solutions.
