Coral Conservation

SEA LIFE works in a number of regions to help protect and restore precious coral reefs.


We’ve helped rebuild damaged coral reefs in the Maldives with special ‘coral frames’; worked with the Indonesian Nature Foundation (LINI) in Bali to rebuild reefs devastated by illegal cyanide poison fishing; and supported research in Curacao, Mexico and in Florida to understand how corals breed and recover from disease.
