We are proud to announce the official launch of the Coral Ark Foundation, a UK-based charity dedicated to coral conservation, research, and education. Our mission is simple but urgent: to protect and restore coral reefs, one of the planet’s most vital and threatened ecosystems.
With reefs facing unprecedented threats from climate change, pollution, and overexploitation, the need for action has never been greater. Coral Ark Foundation is stepping forward to make a difference by combining sustainable coral farming, scientific research, education initiatives, and global conservation partnerships.
A Hub for Research & Collaboration
A cornerstone of our work is the development of our new coral research lab and nursery. This facility is designed not only to support our own restoration programmes but also to serve as a platform for collaboration.
We are inviting Marine Biology students and recent graduates to partner with us, bringing their ideas, research projects, and energy into our conservation mission. By working with Coral Ark Foundation, you will have the opportunity to:
Access specialised facilities for coral research and restoration studies
Collaborate with a growing network of conservationists, scientists, and educators
Gain support in securing funding and sharing your research outcomes
Contribute directly to practical solutions for reef recovery
We believe the next generation of scientists will play a crucial role in ensuring the survival of coral reefs—and we are here to help you succeed.
Our Initiatives
Alongside research, the Coral Ark Foundation is committed to:
Sustainable Coral Farming – reducing pressure on wild reefs by producing corals locally for aquaria and restoration.
Education & Outreach – inspiring schools, universities, and the public to take action through workshops, resources, and citizen science.
Global Restoration Partnerships – working with international organisations to share data, techniques, and knowledge.
Conservation Action – supporting reef protection and restoration projects at home and abroad.
“The Coral Ark Foundation was born from the belief that we can no longer stand by as coral reefs vanish before our eyes. By combining science, education, and community action, we are creating a platform where research and conservation go hand in hand. Our goal is not only to grow corals, but to grow knowledge, partnerships, and hope for the future of our oceans.”
– Michael S. Darcy, CEO, Founder
