Seacology’s mission is 'to protect threatened island ecosystems all over the world'. This they do by working directly with communities, helping them to preserve their cultures and improve their lives while saving precious island habitats. Many of their new projects involve protecting key marine ecosystems—coral reefs, mangroves, and seagrass—all of that uphold biodiversity in our oceans.

Within Singapore’s National Parks agency, ‘the Coastal and Marine Branch under the National Biodiversity Centre (NBC) works towards Singapore’s adoption of a proactive, balanced and forward-looking approach to coastal and marine environment-related policy, management, and research-direction issues, consistent with Singapore’s long-term economic and sustainable development goals.’ Specifically mentioned are the local coral reefs, the intertidal zone, and the mangroves in the area.

Established by the Coral Cay Foundation and launched in 2002, the Southern Leyte Coral Reef Conservation Project (LRCP), ‘trained teams of volunteers, staff and scholars in coral reef monitoring techniques whilst building capacity and implemented crucial educational programmes. This resulted in the collection of 3, 685 bio-physical samples that presented the condition and health of coral reefs, guided the establishment of Marine Protected Areas and monitored the effectiveness of management areas.’ The project was completed in 2020.

Tela Marine Research Centre exists as a tool of conservation connecting research, scientists, communities, authorities, institutions, and all involved or affected by the conservation of Tela's coral reef system.

TIC runs a wide marine conservation programme focusing on biodiversity on the island on Tengah in Malaysia. Protection of turtles is a significant part of their agenda, as is marine pollution, engagement with the local community, and sustainable tourism. Their conservation programme includes coral reef mapping on Pulau Tengah and other Johor islands, coral reef surveys and monitoring, reef restoration and other habitat studies.

Devoted to Marine Conservation in Thailand, with the aim of improving the health of the oceans and coral reefs, The Coral Tribe area group of qualified and certified Marine Conservation Instructors who conduct marine conservation courses and internships for beginner to graduate level, for divers and non-divers. Their many projects include coral restoration, Microplastics surveys, Beach Cleanups, marine debris extraction, Diving against debris, amongst others

The Ocean Agency is a non-profit group using creativity, technology and partnerships to accelerate ocean conservation. The current focus is on coral reef conservation. The award-winning documentary Chasing Coral shows the work of The Ocean Agency team in recording and revealing global coral bleaching events in situ and the impacts of climate change on the world's reefs. Their projects include 50 Reefs Initiative, Glowing Gone campaign, an Ocean Image Bank, photographic exhibitions, amongst others. Check their website for toolkits, images and various resources for raising awareness of the oceans and the life therein.

The Reef Institute works in research in multiple areas directly related to coral health and growth. Their mission of coral reef conservation includes a significant education component, whereby they provide marine science programmes to school and camps. They are actively involved in the Floral Coral Rescue and Propagation Project which focuses on restoring reefs in Florida and the Caribbean.

The Sea People works to contribute to the protection of one of the last locations on Earth where coral reef systems still thrive, Raja Ampat in Indonesia. Their approach is holistic, involving local communities, who depend on healthy coral reefs for both food and livelihoods, and aim to provide mutually beneficial solutions to ecosystems-based management. By combining science and technology with traditional skills and management techniques, they work towards strengthening the ability of local community members to obtain the skills, knowledge and understanding required for improved management, protection and enhancement of local marine resources. Amongst their many projects are reef restoration, marine park monitoring and crown of thorns control, with conservation technology being applied wherever effective.

TCMS is an educational and research programme which immerses both local Belizean students and study abroad students in experiential learning on the Belize Barrier Reef. Tobacco Caye Marine Station tailors a study abroad program to any age and education focus, offering internships on the island. Their conservation activities focus on removal of invasive lionfish, reef cleaning to eliminate plastic pollution, and monitoring and reporting on the state of the local coral reefs.

Trawangan Dive has an innovative program to restore the Gili islands’ reefs. 'Certain areas of shallow water corals around the Gili Islands have suffered damage by combinations of coral heatstroke, disease, land-based sewage, global sea level rising, over-fishing and direct physical damage... A revolutionary new technology called Biorock can make this possible. The Biorock Process involves a submerged steel structure that receives a safe low-voltage electrical current. Small pieces of live broken coral are then strapped to the structure and have been shown to grow at 3-5 times the normal rate while coral survival under higher water temperatures and pollution increased by 16 to 50 times'.(extracted from their website) They offer dive training and specialised training in this conservation work.

TRACC (Tropical Research And Conservation Centre) is a marine conservation organization based in the Celebes Sea dedicated to protecting sea turtles and restoring coral reefs destroyed by the local fish bombing practices of Malaysia. Based on Pom Pom Island in Sabah, Borneo, TRACC is working to restore local reefs that have been damaged by bomb fishing. They focus on coral reef restoration, turtles and sharks, as well as running projects that involve growing coral, rebuilding reefs and measuring biodiversity. They train divers who have the opportunity to become engaged in the conservation projects as do snorkelers. There is also an opportunity to take an A level in Marine Science.
