From scientific discovery to practical action.
The Coral Research and Development Accelerator Platform — CORDAP — was launched by the G20 to fast-track science-based, scalable solutions to save corals from functional extinction.
We are the only international organization fully dedicated to funding transdisciplinary global research and development to protect and restore tropical and cold-water corals. Our programs shift the boundaries of what is possible, creating ways to safeguard corals and reefs for the future benefit of nature, communities, and humanity.

To save corals from extinction, we are supporting bold, innovative solutions. As threats to coral ecosystems including climate change intensify, traditional coral conservation and restoration approaches are no longer enough. Science and innovation must drive the transformative change needed to give these precious ecosystems a fighting chance at survival.
CORDAP’s work is open-source, allowing people and organizations anywhere in the world to advance and apply the technologies we fund.
We welcome anyone with practical, workable ideas for addressing the coral crisis. If that sounds like you, we’d love to work together.
