Protecting the World’s Reefs, One Community at a Time
Global Reef Foundation Inc. is a non-profit that seeks to support activities that document, study, build, and maintain reefs around the globe by working with local groups that want to do the same. At Global Reef Foundation (GRF), we are dedicated to the preservation and enhancement of ocean and coastal reefs across the globe. As a non-profit organization, our mission is to support activities that document, study, build, and maintain these vital marine ecosystems. Coral reefs are not only breathtakingly beautiful, but they are also essential to the health of our oceans and the well-being of countless marine species.
Our Approach
We believe in the power of local action and collaboration. By partnering with local groups, researchers, and communities, we strive to create a network of efforts that contribute to the resilience and restoration of coral reefs. Our initiatives are driven by science and guided by the needs and insights of the communities directly impacted by these precious ecosystems.

Our Story
Our Story
Global Reef Foundation (GRF) was founded to create a framework for smaller local groups to build on so that efforts can be made in their areas. The GRF will be initiating its first efforts in the Volusia area where it will be picking up where the Volusia County Reef Research Dive Team left off.
Volusia County
Reef Research
The Volusia County Reef Research Dive Team was very active in the 90's and early 2000's conducting pre-deployment surveys and regular ongoing reef surveys that documented the growth and biodiversity of reefs in the Volusia County area.
This group was a valuable part of Volusia County's artificial reef program but stopped operating a few years ago.
