Phase 1: Building the Foundation for Coral Recovery
Before coral reefs can recover, the right foundations must be in place. Phase 1 focuses on building the essential systems, standards and transparency that make long-term coral restoration possible.
What Your Donation Will Fund in Phase 1
Stable Coral-Care Systems
Why it matters: Coral survival depends on stability. Getting the fundamentals right protects every coral in our care and ensures your donation delivers real outcomes.
Biosecurity, Quarantine and Welfare Standards
Why it matters: Long-term success requires discipline. Strong standards prevent avoidable losses and allow the programme to scale responsibly.
Monitoring, Observation & Documentation
Why it matters: Coral recovery isn’t guesswork. Monitoring helps us make better decisions, faster — and share evidence of what works.
Transparent Public Updates
Why it matters: Trust is earned through transparency. You should be able to see exactly what your support has enabled.
Where Phase 1 Funding Goes
We keep costs lean and report openly. The breakdown below shows how Phase 1 funds are typically allocated. As the programme develops, individual items may change — but we will always publish what was purchased and what it enabled.
Our Commitment to Responsible Use of Funds
Phase 1 is deliberately focused, measurable and transparent. We publish progress updates, report on how funds are used, and operate under clear governance and ethical standards.
Your donation supports real systems, real learning and real progress — not vague promises.
Help Us Build the Foundations Coral Recovery Depends On
By supporting Phase 1, you are helping to establish the stable systems, strong standards and transparent processes that responsible coral restoration depends on. Your donation supports the careful setup of life-support systems, biosecurity protocols and monitoring tools that protect coral health and ensure every step forward is built on evidence, accountability and best practice.
By investing in these foundations now, you are helping to reduce risk, safeguard coral welfare and create a programme that can grow responsibly over time. Together, we can ensure that coral recovery is not only ambitious, but ethical, measurable and built to last.
