To waste and destroy our natural resources, to skin and exhaust the land instead of using it so as to increase its usefulness, will result in undermining in the days of our children the very prosperity which we ought by right to hand down to them.
-Theodore Roosevelt

Coral Reef Alliance http://www.coral.org/

Originally founded in 1994 to galvanize the dive community for conservation, CORAL has grown from a small, grassroots alliance into the only international nonprofit organization that works exclusively to protect our planet's coral reefs. We provide tools, education, and inspiration to residents of coral reef destinations to support local projects that benefit both reefs and people. We currently work in Hawaii, Mexico, Belize, Honduras, Fiji, Papua New Guinea, and Indonesia.

"We believe in the majesty and mystery of coral reefs, in their ability to teach, sustain, inspire, and give life."

We are their students and their protectors; we hold the knowing that if reefs die, we all die—plain and simple. And the reefs are dying, every day. They are being overheated by the rising temperatures of climate change, overfished by commercial fisherman, and overlooked by ambitious developers and tourism operators. But we can change this—together.

We hold the hope for reversing this crisis and believe in the power of community to make change, to find common ground, and to heal.

Coral reefs are the oldest biological communities on the planet. And to save this community, we must awaken others and remind them that we are all connected—to the reefs and to each other. We must build alliances and forge connections; we must unite to protect this precious resource.

We recognize that there is no one-size-fits-all solution to the problems affecting the reefs of the world.
Instead, we work within the communities that surround each reef to create solutions that benefit reefs as well as the people who depend on them. Our programs are born out of necessity, out of the local community, and out of what makes sense on the ground right now.

Coral Reef Education Materials Library

Our Goal with this educational library is to raise awareness about coral reefs and related ecosystems. Knowledge is crucial to coral reef survival, and this global collection of coral reef awareness tools will help local and regional programs maximize the resources and knowledge already available. Rather than researching and re-creating publications, we hope you will devote your time and money to outreach and conservation.

The Library contains descriptions of brochures, books, videos, and other items suitable for raising coral reef awareness and planning educational efforts. Each entry contains a brief description of the publication and contact information for ordering purposes. In some cases, publications are available for download directly from this Web site.
