Partner Mission

While coral reefs take up a small space in the ocean, they protect the shoreline from erosion and storm surge, protect all coastlines from 97% of all wave energy, provide a habitat for 25% of marine life and help produce 70% of the world’s oxygen.

Located in the Northwood District of West Palm Beach, the Reef Institute (TRI) believes they must take a multifaceted approach of treating education, research and restoration equally. Currently, TRI stands as the singular coral conservation non-profit with a focus on Palm Beach County first, and the Caribbean beyond.
