THE FOREVER REEF PROJECT WILL PRESERVE CORAL BIODIVERSITY FOR GENERATIONS TO COME.
It's a groundbreaking initiative to collect living specimens of the world's coral species and preserve them in a living ‘coral ark ’. We can protect coral biodiversity forever, but our window of opportunity is rapidly closing and we can't keep doing this alone.
We need you.
Without question, this is the most important project we can be undertaking for corals and coral reefs.
COLLECTION PROCESS
Why do we need to do this?
Coral cover and biodiversity are declining worldwide due to climate change. Losing coral reefs will be catastrophic. They support 25% of all marine life, provide essential foods and services to an estimated one billion people and serve as natural marine barriers that protect coastal communities.
LEARN MOREWith every bleaching event we lose vulnerable corals and with over 50% of corals already gone in the last few decades we don't have a moment to lose.
HOW MUCH WOULD YOU LIKE TO DONATE?

Facilities - Port Douglas
The world's first publicly accessible living coral biobank is now open at the Port Douglas Superyacht Marina, North Queensland. Dedicated to our visionary founder, John Rumney, this state-of-the-art facility is home to over one third of the Great Barrier Reef's coral species.
