ADOPT A REEF CREATURE
Adopt a reef creature for you or your loved ones to help us restore the diversity and resilience of Caribbean coral reefs!
ADOPT VS DONATE: DIFFERENCES
Adopting a reef creature directly supports our efforts at CIROM for coral reef conservation and restoration and helps us sustain our efforts beyond grant cycles to preserve and protect our coral reefs for future generations. You will receive a downloadable digital card of your reef creature straight to your inbox!
Donating, however, provides broader support for ISER Caribe's mission, including research, outreach and education programs, and the vital work of our team members.
