Are you as much in awe of our corals as we are? July 28th is #WORLDCONSERVATIONDAY, where we acknowledge the importance of safeguarding healthy ecosystems towards a healthy society. Swipe left to see how the researchers are spearheading coral conservation and check www.cordap.org to learn more!

Feeling warm today? You’re not alone - tropical corals are warming up significantly more than the rest of the planet. Together with our generous funders and partners we sponsor several research projects in the Tropics.

Small efforts. Big impact. Tiny coral polyps come together to build coral reefs, underwater cities that support >30% of all ocean species. We may feel like a tiny polyp in a vast ocean — but together we can change the future of corals. See how in our video and below.

On June 2, CORDAP joined the BBVA Foundation in Madrid for an evening dedicated to one urgent question: how can we prevent the collapse of coral reef ecosystems? Visit cordap.org/cordap-talks... to find out more about the event and what was discussed.

Our jaws dropped when we saw what our scientists accomplished in 2025. We know their plans and challenges. Seeing their achievements exhilarates us! Our Coral Accelerator Program funds 29 projects worldwide. See their boundary-pushing results below! Discover the CORDAP Effect at cordap.org

World Ocean Day and Coral Triangle Day means twice the celebration! CORDAP supports teams in the Coral Triangle to fight coral loss. Thanks to our funders like MEWA, ACWA, The Fishmongers’ Company, MSC Foundation, and the Environment Fund, researchers test how to counteract coral loss.

Our 2025 Annual Report is out! To counteract the global coral bleaching crisis, CORDAP has committed 38 M USD for research. Until Dec'25, we have reached 663 institutions, 40+ funded projects, >2K researchers. Stay tuned, as 2026 will be our most ambitious year yet! Learn more at cordap.org

We help corals thrive and support > 30% marine species. Projects funded by CORDAP drive coral restoration, thanks to the support of funders such as including MEWA, ACWA Power, The Fishmongers’ Company, MSC Foundation, and the Environment Fund. Visit cordap.org/projects-awarded/ to find out more!

🌏 Global Conservation Efforts We contributed to marine protected area planning in the Chagos Archipelago, supported reef monitoring in Fiji, and expanded conservation efforts in the Red Sea through key partnerships with @cordap_ and @redseasaudi.

Why is our Exec Director at the SOS Ocean Meeting? "I am here to launch an SOS for corals, which are at risk of global collapse. Science is part of the solution but a societal tipping point is required to ensure they remain healthy for generations to come: we must face our responsibility." Carlos D

On Mnemba Island, in northern Unguja, Tanzania, everyone depends on corals. This has been true for many generations. The reefs support artisanal fishing and serve as a major attraction for tourists. Unfortunately, decades of overuse have severely degraded the reefs.
