The Coral Reef Alliance works at local, regional, and global levels to keep coral reefs healthy, so they can adapt to climate change and survive for generations to come. As one of the largest global NGOs focused exclusively on protecting coral reefs, the Coral Reef Alliance (CORAL) has used cutting-edge science and community engagement for nearly 30 years to reduce direct threats to reefs and to promote scalable and effective solutions for their protection.

Their mission is simple: to end the ocean-plastic crisis by removing trash from oceans, rivers, and coastlines — one pound at a time — and raising awareness about plastic pollution. They deploy full-time captains and crews year-round to recover plastic waste, and fund cleanup efforts through products like bracelets made from recycled materials; each sale supports removing waste from marine environments. Their broader vision: a world free from plastic pollution, where oceans thrive and future generations inherit a healthier planet.
