About Coral Cay Conservation
Coral Cay Conservation is an award-winning, not-for-profit organisation that specialises in tropical marine conservation, community education and capacity building projects in developing countries.
Founded in 1986, Coral Cay has pioneered a citizen science approach to conservation, training volunteers to survey coastal ecosystems in order to help local communities set up effective conservation measures such as Marine Protected Areas.
There are no other voluntary conservation organisations in the UK – and possibly in the world – that have had more of a profound impact on coral reefs than Coral Cay Conservation.
Effective, well-led volunteer projects, based on solid science, reap tremendous results in pure conservation terms
Our projects are open to people from all ages and walks of life. All our training takes place at the project site through a comprehensive Skills Development Programme.

The excitement of diving with the reward of surveying has made me passionate about the oceans.
I will definitely be pursuing conservation further at university and in my career”.
