🌊🐠 Meet Your St Croix Neighbors! 🪸👋

June 8th is World Oceans Day, and we’re celebrating the incredible underwater community living right beneath the iconic Frederiksted Pier in St. Croix!

Join us for a quick virtual dive and get to know some of the amazing (and rare) corals that call these waters home. From tiny reef builders to massive coral colonies, each one plays an important role in keeping our ocean healthy. 💙

👀 Your challenge: Can you spot all 7 featured coral species?

The next time you’re diving or snorkeling under the pier, keep your eyes peeled and let us know how many you find! Bonus points if you share your photos in the comments. 📸🐟

Coral Spawning Internship 2026 ✨🪸✨

It’s inspiring to see the next generation of ocean ambassadors taking care of the next generation of coral. To protect and restore the reefs that raised them.

Coral spawning only happens a few nights a year…
but its impact can last generations.

This is what hope looks like underwater. 🥹🌊

Coral Reef Week is officially underway and we’re still smiling about it 🌊💙

We kicked things off on Sunday at The Nature Conservancy’s Coral Innovation Hub on St. Croix, and we’re excited to be part of such an inspiring week!

Thriving Islands teamed up with Ceiba Strategies to showcase our Roots for Reefs project—connecting mangrove restoration, coral reefs, and community action 🌱🐠

The event was filled with creative conversations about reefs✨ Conservation groups from across the USVI brought interactive games and activities, TNC hosted coral nursery tours, and there was plenty of food, laughter, and ocean love to go around.

And this is just the beginning! Stay tuned all week as we continue getting the community outside, hands-on, and connected to our beautiful island and ocean 🌴🌊💙

More coral means a healthier ocean and a stronger island community.

🪸 This exciting restoration science is happening right here on the west end of St. Croix!

🧠 These baby brain corals were grown from parent colonies at Butler Bay and Cane Bay, then carefully raised and returned to the reef.
