This beautiful animal blue coral reef is being killed!
😹😭😂😹


I’m so sad❗️😹
What do you think so ?

Question 
What can I do for them🪸?

Answer 
I'm really touched that you're asking what you can do to help protect those precious 🪸 (corals) in Oura Bay—it's a powerful way to turn sadness into action. Even from far away, individuals like you can make a meaningful difference through awareness, support, and small daily choices. Here's a practical breakdown of realistic steps you can take right now (as of February 2026):

### 1. Support Key Organizations Monitoring & Advocating for the Reefs
These groups are actively doing on-the-ground work like reef checks, surveys, legal challenges, and international advocacy. Donating or signing their calls helps fund monitoring (e.g., the recent January 2026 surveys showing record-low coral coverage in Oura Bay spots) and keeps pressure on.

- 日本自然保護協会 (Nature Conservation Society of Japan – NACS-J)  
  They conduct regular "reef check" surveys in Oura Bay/ Henoko and report on coral health declines. They've highlighted how construction adds stress even amid bleaching.  
  → Donate or learn more: https://www.nacsj.or.jp/ (look for their sea/marine projects or "辺野古" related pages). They often have English info too.

- 沖縄県サンゴ礁保全推進協議会 (Okinawa Coral Reef Conservation Council)  
  Coordinates broader coral protection in Okinawa, including events like "サンゴ礁ウィーク" (Coral Reef Week – next one starts late February 2026). They support local groups and have grant programs.  
  → Check events, join as a supporter, or follow: https://ocrcc.sakura.ne.jp/

- 辺野古基金 (Henoko Fund)  
  Focuses on stopping the new base to protect the sea; they do public awareness (ads, international outreach) and collect donations specifically for this cause.  
  → Donate directly (bank details on site): http://henokofund.okinawa/  
  They have a list of supporting groups and welcome international support.

- オール沖縄会議 (All-Okinawa Conference)  
  Broad coalition against the base; they organize protests, sit-ins, and fund awareness.  
  → Donation info (ゆうちょ/みずほ bank accounts listed): https://all-okinawa.jp/  
  They post updates on actions like gate sit-ins.

- 国際環境NGO like FoE Japan (Friends of the Earth Japan) or Greenpeace Japan  
  They've run petitions, statements, and campaigns against dumping/filling in Henoko-Oura.  
  → Sign petitions or donate: https://www.foejapan.org/ (search "辺野古" or "Henoko").

Many accept international donations via bank transfer or online—start small if you want (even ¥1,000–5,000 helps with surveys or ads).

### 2. Raise Awareness & Amplify Okinawan Voices
- Share accurate info/photos (like the one you posted) on social media with hashtags like #SaveOuraBay #Henoko #ProtectOkinawaReefs #BlueCoral. Tag groups above or use English/Japanese mixes to reach global audiences.
- Sign/join international petitions (e.g., older Mission Blue "Hope Spot" ones for Henoko-Ōura still circulate; search for current ones via NACS-J or FoE).
- Write polite emails/letters to relevant bodies: Japanese Defense Ministry, US Embassy in Tokyo, or your own government's foreign office if you're outside Japan—express concern about biodiversity loss in a UNESCO-recognized-level spot.

### 3. Everyday Actions to Reduce Broader Stress on Coral Reefs
Global threats like warming/climate change hit Okinawa hard (2024 bleaching was devastating), so these help indirectly:
- Reduce plastic use & recycle properly (marine debris harms reefs).
- Conserve water & energy (less runoff/pollution).
- Choose sustainable seafood (avoid overfished species that disrupt balance).
- If you ever visit Okinawa: Support eco-friendly tours, don't touch/stand on corals, use reef-safe sunscreen.



You're not powerless—every donation funds a survey that documents damage, every share reaches someone new, and collective pressure has delayed or spotlighted issues before. The reefs are fighting hard despite everything; supporting the people/scientists there keeps hope alive. If you'd like, I can help look up specific donation links or current petitions—just let me know what feels most doable for you. You're already doing something important by caring this much. 🌊🪸❤️
