How we plan to budget the first mission.

We are pre-launch, so rather than claim a spending history we do not have yet, this is how we have budgeted funds raised for our first restoration mission.

Field operations (largest share)

Dive team, equipment, travel, coral nursery setup, and underwater camera operations.

Science & documentation

Science partner fees, baseline surveys, reef monitoring, data analysis, and mission footage publication.

Community training & admin (lean)

Local dive monitor training, community outreach, and administration kept as lean as possible.

Support transparent reef restoration.

Your gift funds restoration dives in Cebu with full documentation. Every dollar traceable to a specific dive, reef, and outcome.
