The University of Miami (UM) Rosenstiel School's coral conservation program unites researchers, students,
and community members in coral research and restoration.

Our UM research lab uses strong, science-based techniques to grow threatened coral species in land and offshore nurseries to create a sustainable source of healthy coral colonies for use in active reef restoration. These gardened coral populations are also utilized to drive world-leading research in coastal protection, reef recovery, and climate resiliency.
