Our Vision

To stop the destruction of the world's coral reefs by 2020
and restore their beauty, health and abundance within this century.

The Planetary Coral Reef Foundation (PCRF) was founded in 1991 to address the coral reef crisis. Since its inception, PCRF has pursued an unprecedented global mission to preserve coral reefs through innovative programs in science, education and technology.

PCRF is now completing year fourteen of an ongoing expedition to map and monitor the world's coral reefs. To date, PCRF's research vessel is the only ship continually at sea studying coral reefs on a planetary basis. All our coral reef studies, Studio of the Sea films, and educational programs are featured online so you can Join the Voyage! now.

2008 is the International Year of the Coral Reef! Join this worldwide campaign to protect coral reefs and visit our new Google Earth demonstration project at the icon above, get immersed in our spherical video experience of reefs, and visit our online programs to learn where PCRF is in Southeast Asia now!
