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.
