An ocean of thanks to the Coral Island community for helping raise an incredible $87,500 for Coral Guardian!
In July and September, we teamed up with Coral Island developer Stairway Games and charity organization Coral Guardian to release a pair of limited-time charity DLC packs for the game: the Ocean Guardian and Ocean Explorer. 100% of developer and publisher proceeds from sales of these packs were donated to Coral Guardian in support of their mission to protect and restore coral ecosystems.
Recently, Coral Guardian shared how they’d be putting those funds to work for reefs and the local communities who depend on them. Here’s just a snapshot:
- 2,900 corals to be transplanted
- 8 person team employed for 1 year
- 170 children will benefit from English classes in 2024
- 1 year of ongoing scientific monitoring
- In 2024, the restored area will extend to another island community, providing connection between the site and a boost in catch for the local community
Our sincerest thanks to all of the Coral Island players who helped make this possible, whether you picked up the charity DLC or spread the word on social media and to your friends and family. While our individual actions can sometimes feel small, together it adds up to make a real, tangible impact for people and the environment.
