Membership

ICRS Membership is open to anyone interested in coral reefs. While the majority of members are researchers, managers and students pursuing the science of coral reefs and associated ecosystems, others with an interest in, or concern for reefs of any type are welcome – we need your support to save the world’s coral reefs.

Financial Management


Starting on 1 November 2022, the International Coral Reef Society will begin working with the Coral Restoration Foundation (CRF) for financial management services. CRF is providing these services as an in-kind donation to ICRS at no cost to ICRS. The CRF has expertise in financial management that will greatly benefit ICRS. ICRS will continue to manage its membership services through the online service provider MemberClicks.

We are very excited about this new partnership between ICRS and CRF. Thank you, CRF, for your generous donation of services to ICRS. We are looking forward to a prosperous partnership!
