This year, The Perry Institute for Marine Science has made waves of change throughout The Bahamas and the greater Caribbean. Our research, conservation, and education programs have helped protect our oceans, restore coral reefs, replenish our fisheries and empower future conservation leaders.
Your donation will help support our ongoing mission to bring the best research to bear on the problems facing our oceans, and explore novel ways to preserve our coral reefs – the rainforests of the sea – for years to come.
š $25 = Adopt a Coral. Weāll grow and out plant one Critically Endangered onto a coral reef.
š $50 = Weāll heal a coral colony struggling from Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease.
š $100 = Weāll build an ocean-based nursery tree, which can host up to 50 growing corals!
š $250 = Weāll implant a transmitter into a Nassau grouper, so we can track this Critically Endangered species’ spawning and migration patterns
š $500 = We’ll train one student in conservation leadership!
š $1,000 = Weāll conduct an entire coral reef health assessment! These assessments are a ton of work, yet crucial to help us monitor changes to coral reef health over time.
