About Coral Guardian<\/b><\/h3>\n
Coral Guardian is a French non-profit that was founded in order to protect and restore coral ecosystems by working hand in hand with local communities. Coral Guardian works following to 3 main pillars:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Blue Center is a <\/span>training and support program created by Coral Guardian<\/b>, addressed to <\/span>local structures<\/b> aiming to develop their own <\/span>project for the conservation of coral ecosystems<\/b> by involving <\/span>local communities.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Two types of support<\/b> are offered to beneficiary projects, according to Coral Guardian possibilities:<\/span><\/p>\n Long-term support<\/span>: regular support offered by Coral Guardian and adapted to the needs of the local structure, including technical, scientific, administrative, communication\/marketing, and financial needs. The initial duration of this type of partnership and support is 3 years, during which the projects will be accompanied to develop mechanisms to reach greater independence.<\/span><\/p>\n Short-term support<\/span>: one-off support from Coral Guardian on one or more issues or topics in the development of a coral restoration project. The collaborations\u2019 perimeter is predefined with the beneficiary structure, and can include technical, scientific, communication or administrative aspects. Support for a project of this type is never financial. The initial duration is 1 year.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This year, <\/span>we are launching a call for proposals for two months, for projects that want to join our Blue Center: applications received during this period will be considered to launch a collaboration with Coral Guardian from this year\/early 2024<\/b>.
