It is possible to donate to CoralGardening without having to spend one extra dime. But how? By using a new online service, where you can buy goods or services for the normal rate and a small percentage of the amount you pay is given to a charity. The choice for a charity is yours to make! Of course CoralGardening is an option.

HelpFreely is an online shopping platform which donates a percentage of their income to charities. The price of a product is the same as in other shops. To make it easier for you, an app is available that redirects you from HelpFreely to the eBay page you’re looking for. If you then purchase your desired product, for example an travel guide to Thailand, HelpFreely immediately makes a donation to the charity of your choice.

ShophulpOnline

You can choose your own charities. The app will remember them and you don’t even have to think about whether you want to support a charity or not. Currently hundreds of online shops already participate in HelpFreely. E.g. Greetz, Groupon, eBay etc. Check the website to see which shops do the right thing. Or even better, subscribe as a Hero through this link, and support CoralGardening. Feel free tot share HelpFreely with other online shoppers to get the flow going!helpfreely-facebookIf anybody ever tells you you spend to much on online shopping, you now have the best excuse you can think of: “I’m not shopping, I’m supporting my favourite charity, CoralGardening!” Thanks to all Heroes for installing this App :)

Do you understand the importance of healthy oceans? Do you enjoy underwater landscapes? Or do you want to contribute to a better environment? You have only 11 days left to join our group of supporters.

Because our crowdfunding campaign is a success already, we will start the construction of the first CoralGarden in April. Now it is up to you to decide how large the CoralGarden will get. If we can reach €15.000,-, a total of ten flowers and two pairs of hands will be built initially. If we can reach our target of €25.000,-, the complete CoralGarden as you can experience in the video above will be realised.

Your contribution will directly increase the size of the CoralGarden and the size of the coral reef. We guarantee that your full donation is spent on local materials and services that are necessary to construct the CoralGarden. Visit OnePlanetCrowd and immortalize your name on a reef statue!

We have now reached our second target in the crowdfunding campaign of €7.500,-. We are now able to realise not only four flower statues, but also a pair of hands. The hands will serve both an aesthetic and a functional purpose for divers and snorkelers in our CoralGarden. Divers can actively use the pair of hands to test and improve their diving skills!

We thank everyone who made a contribution to this next step in our success! Send this update to your friends and spur them to become part of the change that will make coral reefs and marine life in general excel! An additional 6 flowers and a pair of hands will be made when we reach our next target of €15.000. That way we can optimize our effects on the new reef even more and we can provide divers with additional challenges and fun before they face the natural reefs!

Join us build a healthy ocean!

Students of the WSBV Sylvatica (a university society of “Bos- en Natuurbeheer”, Wageningen University) organised a charity concert for CoralGardening at the Café Loburg, Wageningen. The students were very professional and creative in their organization. You could buy slices of cake and various fruit or meat pies. Every single one of those pies was coral themed and, perhaps more important, very tasty!

Coral cake

 

The  musical BosBouwBand blew everyones mind with their incredible performance. We held an auction during the break, in which we offered many useful but also playful itmes. Among the items were study materials, a framed butterfly, a dinner voucher, a workshop handling snakes and even a personal concert by the BosBouwBand!

Students had set a target of raising €500,- for CoralGardening during their planning and organization. During the night their hopes rose to even more, €800,-. But in the end in turned out we reached €1.600!!!

It was a very successful and fun night. Sylvatica and all volunteers, we thank youyou’re your support, trust and passion in/for CoralGardening!

Our crowdfund campaign is available in the English language, since we are not limited to just the (lack of) Dutch coral reefs of course. We are very  proud to announce a German version of our campaign as well: Lasst uns einen gesünderen Ozean schaffen.

CoralGardening has released sharks on the advice of an old pirate. Sharks are the apex predators of the ocean and so called indicator species of healthy reefs. The presence of sharks on reefs is one of our goals. Where can you find our sharks?

During a talk with Diego from The Old Pirate, we developed the idea to place donation boxes for CoralGardening in dive shops. This way, people that want the best for coral reefs can immediately make a difference by donating a little bit of money. The box is a happy shark. Diego Li voluntarily takes care of releasing our sharks and bringing in the treasure (donations). Our gratitude for that!

If all goes well in nature, the sharks will disperse by themselves. They can be found in more and more shops and restaurants.

There is a shark at Fine Fresh Food, our favorite lunchroom in The Hague.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A shark at the nuts stall of René Laarman found among other places at the kocal market of Bergen of Zoom

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you see one of these shark somewhere, please feed him, for a healthy reef!

Many thanks from the CoralGardening team.
