Our planet is rapidly changing, and corals are dying worldwide. To counteract the decline of our oceans’ most valuable ecosystems, we develop sound scientific techniques and methods to restore coral reefs on larger scales. Each year, SECORE is rearing thousands of baby corals and we are working hard to do more! Each of these young corals is genetically unique and some may be capable of adapting to the conditions coral reefs are facing today. One day, if all goes well, our baby corals may grow into healthy adult coral colonies. Our short film, “Growing Corals”, takes you on a journey to experience what it takes to grow coral babies, to restore degraded reefs and to give corals around the globe a fighting chance to survive.

A Reef Patrol Production for SECORE International. To learn more about our novel reef restoration approach visit www.secore.org or follow us on social media:
