Coral Restoration Foundation™ (CRF) is the world’s largest non-profit marine-conservation organization dedicated to restoring coral reefs to a healthy state, in Florida as well as globally. Headquartered in the Florida Keys, CRF was incorporated in 2007 in response to the widespread loss of the dominant coral species on Florida's Coral Reef. CRF’s core mission is to restore coral reefs, to educate others on the importance of our oceans, and to use science to further coral research and coral-reef monitoring techniques. Coral reefs are the most threatened habitat on earth and stony corals the most at risk group of animals facing extinction. All coral reefs, in all oceans of the world, are at risk. Since 2012, CRF has planted more than 250,000 critically endangered staghorn, elkhorn, and star corals back onto these reefs, an ambitious scope of work carried out by a small team of staff, countless volunteers , and interns. Large-scale and massive action is required to save our reefs. CRF has proven that this is possible after more than a decade of successfully outplanting corals throughout the Florida Keys.

ATR provides for the protection and education about all species of tortoise and turtle. We offer permanent sanctuary to abandoned tortoises. Foundlings that cannot be adopted because of ill health or because they are in danger of extinction remain in the care of American Tortoise Rescue for the remainder of their lives.

The sanctuary preserves native North American wildlife and habitat by rehabilitating injured and orphaned animals, caring for non‑releasable residents, and offering education and guided tours to raise awareness.

We believe that when our Mother Earth and all her livingthings were created, a loving balance, respect, and communication existedbetween Humans, all other life forms, and the Earth. We believe that Humankindhas forgotten the original plan, to the detriment not only of others in theanimal kingdom, and of the Earth, but of ourselves. We believe that a return toan understanding of our oneness with All That Is will cure the cruelties andhorrors, and the illnesses with which we find ourselves surrounded. Through ourcaring contribution, we hope to help Humankind remember that original plan oflove and respect, to remember our natural ability to communicate with All ThatIs, and so return to balanced health, physically, mentally, spiritually, and inrelationship to all.
