Who We are

Students for Coral Preservation is dedicated to safeguarding the future of coral reefs through meaningful educational experiences for youth. We are committed to developing educational materials for the next generation, creating physical installations to allow for experiential learning, and hosting events to raise awareness. Students For Coral Preservation aims to create a better-equipped, better-informed generation ready to tackle the challenges of coral preservation.

We are guided by a commitment to education and advocacy, as supported by our mission:

“Students For Coral Preservation aims to create a better-equipped, better-informed generation ready to tackle the challenges of coral preservation.”

Why?

  • Coral reefs act as buffers, dissipating as much as 97% of the energy of incoming waves and protecting coastal communities from storms and flooding

  • This buffer protects the vital region of Biscayne Bay, which contributes $64 billion of economic output

  • NOAA has confirmed that we are in the world’s 4th major bleaching event.

  • Over 70 countries have experienced mass bleaching since 2023

  • Florida’s reef tract has lost 90% of its cover since 1984 due to climate change.
