Blue Coral Foundation

Conservation in Dominican Republic

Our Vision

We are a community oriented, science-based non-profit organisation dedicated to marine research, education, and conservation. We aim to furthering on-the-ground conservation actions, and overall widening of public engagement for the protection of marine ecosystems and resources.

EVEN LITTLE MEANS A LOT FOR US

Every year, we train dozens of citizen scientist volunteers to survey the health of tropical coral reefs of Dominican Republic.

WHAT WE DO

Capacity building at the most important levels

Data Collection

A way for everyday people to get involved in collecting exist and analysing data can help scientists better understand and protect our oceans.

Education

Sustainable management of coastal areas cannot be effectively implemented without the continued involvement of residents who are knowledgeable about the value of conservation.

Capacity Building

Capacity- building is considered as a key issue for a wide range of areas, such as climate change, ocean sustainability as well as financing

Our Testimonials

As volunteer for Blue Coral
Since my old school's time, I always wanted to know how marine biologist work in the field and thanks to Blue Coral now I know the techniques they use and the efforts necessary to protect the ocean and its biodiversity. Working side by side with biologist has been the highlight of my trip in Dominican Republic.
