New Nonprofit Launches

The nonprofit is currently awaiting final registration as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) with the UK Charity Commission, but its work has already begun due to the urgent need to protect coral reefs. Coral Futures has been created in response to the accelerating decline of global coral ecosystems. Scientists warn that up to 90% of the world’s coral reefs could be lost by 2050 if action is not taken. The organisation aims to change this trajectory through scientific research, new restoration technologies, and widespread public engagement. The mission of Coral Futures is to advance coral science and restoration methods, develop scalable coral farming systems, protect genetic diversity, promote climate-resilient species, and inspire future marine researchers and conservationists. Its work will involve both UK-based research systems and global field projects, including mobile, off-grid coral nurseries that can be deployed directly to threatened reef sites. While awaiting final charity approval, Coral Futures has already begun public awareness campaigns, introduced its mission and team, and started building partnerships with researchers and conservation organisations. It is also developing educational programmes, scientific collaborations, and a public petition calling for urgent global coral action.
