Non-profit based in Bermuda
Living Reefs Foundation is a Not for Profit Organization and the first charity of its kind in Bermuda, dedicated to active coral restoration and conservation of the Atlantic’s northernmost reef ecosystem. The Foundation was formed with the approval of the Ministry of Environment, and is endorsed by the Bermuda National Trust. The board of the Foundation provides in-house expertise with more than 20 years experience in marine sciences, environmental management, corporate governance and fund management. Our mission is twofold: 1) To ACT to restore damaged reefs by developing scientifically-based, practical cost-effective tools, and 2) To develop a self-sustaining financial mechanism to ensure continuity in coral restoration/conservation. The Foundation’s signature project ‘The Coral Garden Initiative’ serves to raise awareness, engage visitors and residents, and provides a scientific and educational tool in coral conservation.
