Corals of the World Foundation
Primary Purpose
We will ensure the completion of the information platform for the more than 700 species of corals of the world in perpetuity and available to all for free.
Secondary Purpose
To provide coral reef researchers, managers, educators and aquarists with an information platform on which valid decisions can be based whilst funding a university professorial chair(s) and scholarships to ensure upcoming experts are able to carry on our works.
What is the Corals of the World Foundation (COTWF)
The COTWF is an Australian Company Limited by Guarantee, a Registered Australian Charity and Registered Environmental Organisation (REO) and a Designated Gift Recipient (DGR) allowing fully tax deductible donations. Mirror organisations will be established globally to allow donations from all.
Corals of the World will:
Corals of The World Information Platform
Complete and enhance the Coralsoftheworld.org website and ensure its continued maintenance and being free for all to use. This includes Coral ID, Coral Geographic and Coral Enquirer with the introduction of AI to enhance their performance
Professorial Chair
Permanently endow a Professorial Chair at a university in Coral Health and Biodiversity to enable the leading of education of upcoming professionals in the field ensuring maintenance of the platform into the future
Tertiary Scholarships
Permanently endow scholarships at all levels at a university in Coral Health and Biodiversity to enable the education of upcoming professionals in the field ensuring maintenance of the platform into the future
Who we are:
Our executive directors and members all wish to remain anonymous. This is not about them but the 700+ corals of the world.
To date the directors have paid all costs. None of us, the directors and members, can, by law, receive ANY BENEFITS in any form from the foundation.
The Australian Securities and Investment Commission as well as the Department of Environment and Australian Tax Office have all put us through very rigorous ‘tests’ to allow us to form the company, become a registered charity, REO and DGR.
The importance of Corals Of The World
It is unknown how many species of coral there are as new ones are continually being discovered and with the advent of genetic mapping the taxonomy will continually change with the species changes on reefs around the world
Without this information platform NO VALID CORAL REEF DECISIONS CAN BE MADE on a local nor global basis.
