How can I volunteer with the Sea Farmer Foundation?
We welcome volunteers for reef restoration dives, community training programs, and coastal cleanup events. Contact us at [email protected] or visit our Get Involved section to learn about upcoming volunteer opportunities in Jamaica.
Where are the Sea Farmer Foundation's restoration sites?
Our restoration sites are located along Jamaica's coastline, with active coral nurseries and sea moss farms in multiple parishes. We focus on areas most affected by reef degradation and pollution hotspots.
How is my donation used?
100% of donations go directly toward marine restoration efforts. This includes coral micro-fragmentation and out-planting, sea moss cultivation infrastructure, community training programs, and monitoring equipment. We provide quarterly impact reports to all donors.
What marine species does the Sea Farmer Foundation protect?
Our work protects and restores habitats for coral species, sea moss (Irish moss), reef fish, sea turtles, and the broader marine biodiversity that depends on healthy reef ecosystems. Our bivalve and seaweed aquaculture also improves water quality for all marine life.
Can schools participate in Sea Farmer Foundation programs?
Yes. We offer educational courses and field trips for schools across Jamaica. Students learn about marine ecosystems, sustainable aquaculture, and conservation through hands-on experiences at our restoration sites. Contact us to arrange a school visit.
How do I report coral damage or reef pollution?
If you observe coral damage, bleaching, or pollution affecting Jamaica's reefs, please contact us at [email protected] with the location details and photos if possible. We work with local authorities and research partners to assess and respond to reef damage reports.
