$100

Build a Nursery Tree

Funds one ocean-based coral nursery tree that can host up to 50 growing coral fragments at a time, creating a living underwater garden.

$250

Tag a Nassau Grouper

Implants a transmitter into a critically endangered Nassau grouper so scientists can track its spawning and migration patterns across the Caribbean.

Mangrove coastline in The Bahamas
$1,000

Full Reef Health Assessment

Why Give Monthly?

Monthly donors are the backbone of our conservation work. Predictable funding lets us maintain nurseries year-round, respond to bleaching events fast, and plan ambitious multi-year projects. It also costs less to process recurring gifts, so more of your money reaches the reef.

Become a Coral Champion and plant a coral every single month.

$10

Plant One Coral Every Month

A coral fragment goes from nursery to reef in your name, every 30 days. In a year, that's 12 corals growing on a Caribbean reef because of you.

$25

Keep a Nursery Running for a Week

Covers cleaning, monitoring, and maintenance for one nursery tree growing 50 endangered coral fragments.

$50

Train a Reef Rescue Diver

Funds one diver's certification so they can plant and monitor corals independently at partner sites across the network.

$100

Fund a Disease Treatment Day

Sends a trained team underwater to apply antibiotics to corals infected by Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease before it spreads.

Rising Tides Youth Program

Your Donations Fund the Next Generation of Ocean Stewards

Rising Tides is our youth education program that gives local Bahamian students hands-on marine science training they would never get in a classroom. These students learn to dive, collect data on real coral reefs, and build the skills to protect the ocean they grew up on.

Hear from the students themselves about what this program means to them and their communities.
