Celebrate World Oceans Month with us!
World Oceans Month is a global celebration dedicated to our planet’s incredible aquatic ecosystems. Observed annually in June, this day strengthens support for ocean conservation and encourages communities worldwide to take action to protect our marine environments for future generations.
By donating to CORAL this World Oceans Month, you enable us to continue our vital conservation efforts in 2025 and beyond. Your support ensures our projects have the resources to make a lasting difference for our oceans.
Where will donations go in 2025?
West Maui, Hawai'i: We are taking lessons learned from Wahikuli watershed and embarking on a partnership with Kipuka Olowalu to build local capacity and help rehabilitate the Olowalu ahupua’a (watershed).
Molokai, Hawai'i: We’ve launched a project that will build the capacity of local community group Ka Honua Momona and restore a 60-acre estuarine habitat in two ancient fishponds on Molokai, a very under-resourced Hawaiian island.
Cozumel, Mexico: Our team in Mexico is focused on bolstering Cozumel’s destination management organization (DMO) and on building up our sustainable tourism project that engages the local community and tourism operators in safe and sustainable practices to have positive impacts on reef health. Our goal is to engage over 200 trainers who will pass along the message of how to be a reef-safe diver, snorkeler and vacationer, with cascading benefits to both the environment and the economy.
Roatan, Honduras: CORAL will establish a new marine protected area within the Roatan region of the Western Caribbean by implementing a no-take zone (no fishing) to help increase fish biomass and reef health by protecting vital marine species in key spawning locations.
Bay Islands, Honduras: CORAL is conducting fisheries research and implementing management strategies for important coral reef species - the spiny lobster and queen conch - two of the most endangered benthic species that live in the reef. Both of these species are indicators of reef health.
