Coral Reefstoration Ghana
Training a new generation of marine conservationists to care for our oceans
Coral Reefstoration Ghana is a registered NGO based in Accra, building local capacity and training a new generation of marine conservationists to care for our oceans, through hands-on restoration, research, and education. We are bringing together conservationists, scientists, divers, storytellers, and community leaders to revive Ghana’s underwater ecosystems.
Coral Reefstoration Ghana is endorsed by UNESCO as an official Project under the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021–2030).

The Dive Lab
In 2025, we launched Ghana’s first ever Dive Lab to train Ghana’s scientists and conservationists with the diving skills needed to study and protect local marine ecosystems.
Ocean Education
We are training teachers and students with our ocean literacy curriculum and practical marine education experiences to foster a new generation of ocean ambassadors committed to protecting Ghana’s marine ecosystems.
The Saltpond Corals Campaign
In 2025, our divers found that the underwater infrastructure at Ghana’s Saltpond Oil Field has been colonised by corals.
We documented our findings and wrote a report with recommendations to ensure the decommissioning process can preserve the ecological and economic value of the Saltpond coral colony.
“If we truly want to change the narrative of who tells our stories beneath the waves, we must remove the barriers that keep Africans from accessing the underwater world.”
