The Sierra Club, has been working to protect the environment and its people since 1892. It’s the oldest and largest environmental group in America with 750,000 members. They helped pass the Clean Air and Endangered Species Acts, initiated the creation of numerous National Parks, and worked to move hundreds of coal plants towards clean energy. Their areas of focus include policy-based climate solutions, environmental conservations, and protest mobilization.

As an environmental non-profit Coral Restoration Foundation’s core mission is to restore coral reefs, educate others on the importance of our oceans, and to use science to further coral research and coral reef monitoring techniques. They works with government agencies including NOAA, universities, NGOs, and others.
They support the reefs’ natural recovery processes through large-scale cultivation, out-planting, and monitoring. Since 2007, they have planted more than 100,000 critically endangered staghorn and elkhorn corals back onto the Florida Reef Tract.
