So, who else is into this topic? Well, there are a few non-profit organizations, like these below. Go check out their websites, you can find quite a bit of info there!

The Global Coral Reef Alliance
These guys are a group of people who, guess what?, are dedicated to saving coral reefs. So you think, hey, maybe these guys are people sitting back in armchairs eating chips all day, but no! They have very intelligent people in the organization, even scientists, who find new ways to save the coral reefs. One thing they did was the Biorock Project. It's a smart idea to create coral reefs! That's right, CREATE them.

Woah, this ship is MASSIVE! Well, this isn't really an organization, but it's probably one of the larges artificial reef project in the world. In 2006, the Oriskany was sunk to serve as a giant artificial reef. If you're sceptical, don't worry. The ship was drained of all flammable liquids and poisonous substances. The corals seemed to like it, because as of this year, most of the sunken wreck has been covered with coral. It's one of the most successful artificial reefs too.
Well, this is the end of my short post. You'll have to wait till tomorrow for another one from me.
