Your ib designs purchase from the Elkhorn coral collection directly supports coral restoration in the US Virgin Islands with a donation to The Nature Conservancy.
Once the primary coral reef species throughout the Caribbean, Elkhorn Coral populations have declined as much as 90% as a result of global climate change, overfishing, as well as direct and indirect sources of pollution. The Nature Conservancy is working towards the recovery of elkhorn (and staghorn) corals in the US Virgin Islands by growing and multiplying rescued corals in underwater nurseries and then using nursery-grown corals to restore degraded reefs.
