SECORE integrates science and engineering, refines coral restoration methodologies using coral seeding and creates novel tools that allow for the implementation of large-scale restoration—global coral restoration.
We strongly cooperate with our local partners at each working site, provide training and mentor-ship to facilitate the implementation of coral breeding methods and restoration tools on-site.

Our coral breeding restoration approach ('sexual coral restoration') allows to increase the efficiency of restoration actions and to adapt new procedures 'along the way', as well as to integrate resilience enhancement strategies as they become available (coral resilience).
