The Reef-World Foundation is a UK charity that has been working to inspire and empower people to conserve and sustainably develop coastal resources in SE Asia and the Indian Ocean for over ten years. As the principle technical partner for the UNEP initiative, Green Fins, Reef-World has worked with national governments, the private sector and local communities to expand the initiative across six countries to drive marine conservation through education and consultation.
