Coral World is constantly working on new projects and initiatives to educate the public and send a positive conservation effort. We also work with outside schools and agencies to help with various projects.
For more information on a recent example read this article about some research being done at the University of the Virgin Islands.
Take a look at the behind the scenes here at Coral World in this video by our friends at DiveHDV.com
Coral World is in the planning stages of a Coral Restoration Project. We intend to transplant fragments of porites coral first in the area of Coral World’s Undersea Observatory Tower and eventually at other sites around the Virgin Islands.
In 1998, during the post-Hurricane Marilyn major renovation of Coral World, we created a man-made red mangrove lagoon with fewer than 50 small seedlings.
Coral World also serves as a rehabilitation center for injured or sick turtles and even struggling hatchlings that have not found their way out to sea and the safety of mats of Sargassum seaweed.
