What your conservation share could fund
Planning estimates only. Real outputs vary by site, season, and partner. Every figure below is a mid-point taken from publicly available reef-restoration and conservation programme budgets [1, 2, 3, 4]. Use as a guide, not a guarantee.
About these estimates. Per-output costs in conservation programmes vary by an order of magnitude depending on site logistics, partner overhead, and what work is in season. The numbers shown are mid-point planning estimates from publicly available reef-restoration and community-conservation programme budgets. Each booking confirmation will list the specific partner, the specific work that took place during your visit, and the actual contribution recorded. We do not promise specific outputs in advance.
Sources for the planning estimates
- Coral nursery and outplanting cost ranges, drawn from the published methodology of organisations such as SECORE International, Coral Vita, and Reef-World Foundation (typical published range: USD 5 to 25 per coral fragment grown and outplanted, varying widely by species, site, and method).
- Mangrove seedling cost ranges, drawn from Eden Reforestation Projects, Mangrove Action Project, and ICUN-cited community programme budgets (typical published range: USD 0.30 to 2.00 per planted seedling, including community labour and aftercare).
- Sea-turtle nesting monitoring cost is a function of ranger-day cost in remote field stations rather than per-nest. Typical published Pacific community-ranger costs run roughly USD 25 to 100 per ranger-day, including transport and consumables.
- Marine debris removal cost ranges, drawn from coastal cleanup programmes published by Ocean Conservancy and similar organisations (typical published range: USD 3 to 12 per kilogram removed, including disposal and transport).
Each of these ranges is intentionally wide. They reflect the genuine variability in conservation programme costs across geographies, and they should not be quoted as project-specific figures without a primary-source check on the particular partner.
