National Coral Reef Institute

The National Coral Reef Institute (NCRI) is an organization dedicated to protecting and managing coral reef ecosystems in the United States. It conducts scientific research, provides education, and offers resources to support the conservation of these vital marine habitats. Coral reefs are diverse underwater ecosystems that support a wide range of marine life, protect coastlines, and benefit local economies. NCRI collaborates with government agencies, scientists, and communities to promote sustainable practices and improve our understanding of reef health, ensuring they thrive for future generations.
