"Coral Cay Conservation was where it all began for me, showing me that effective, well-led volunteer projects, based on solid science, could reap tremendous results in pure conservation terms. It is of vital importance that this work continues, with CCC frequently the lone champion of reefs that are otherwise under intense fishing and local environmental pressure."

William Gray


“With coral reefs and tropical forests facing ever-increasing threats, CCC’s work has never been more important. One of the original and most effective volunteer conservation organisations, it has helped to create numerous protected areas around the world, safeguarding endangered habitats and bringing real benefits to the local communities that depend on them. The world needs its reefs and rainforests and we need CCC to continue its outstanding work.”

"CCC is the Gold Standard for the application of scientific research to resolve real-world environmental issues locally and in real-time. Coral Cay, and especially its volunteers, provide local communities which rely on critical ecosystems one of the most versatile tools available today to ensure sustainable conservation of local resources. Please join with me and support the CCC with a generous donation - ask your friends to do so as well. You won't find a more important cause, and neither will they."
