Chubb Donates $300K For Reef Conservation
The Chubb Charitable Foundation Bermuda announced a $300,000, 3-year grant to the Living Reefs Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving Bermuda’s coral reefs and marine ecosystems.
This grant will support reef conservation efforts for the new Causeway Blue Barrier Project, including integrating live corals into coastal infrastructure to enhance shoreline resilience.
“This partnership exemplifies Chubb’s unwavering commitment to fostering solutions that tackle climate-related challenges,” said Lori Dunstan, Vice President, Chubb Charitable Foundation Bermuda. “We’re proud to help implement a nature-based strategy that fortifies our shoreline against storm damage and strengthens long-term coastal resilience.”
A spokesperson added, “The grant will help facilitate initiatives, including sustainable coral sourcing, transplantation research and the implementation of state-of-the-art monitoring technologies to assess reef health and resilience.
“The Living Reefs Foundation has already demonstrated notable success through its Coral Garden Initiative which strategically incorporates live corals into man-made barriers. This was recently demonstrated with the successful planting of 200 coral colonies, achieving a 98% survival rate over a 12-month period.”
