Our Global Impact Starts here
We're proud to call Bocas del Toro, Panama home
We’re currently located in Bocas del Toro, so we’re hard at work on a number of projects in this area. We’re proud of the conservation work we’ve done here, including championing Mission Blue’s designation of Bocas del Toro Archipelago Hope Spot.
Our mission is to promote environmental and economic growth on a local level, so we can make a sustainable impact above and below the water.
"I applaud the Champions for working towards a healthy tomorrow, not just for Panama, but the entire ocean.
Panama’s Bocas del Toro is a stunning pocket of biodiversity, brimming with magnificent creatures like the leatherback sea turtle and brilliant coral – not to mention the immensely valuable mangrove forests. Once human activities destroy the natural ecosystem here, we might not get it back. We have a chance now to do what it takes to keep it intact and invest in a healthy future.

Meet Our Founder, Krista Shoe
The OG Mother of Corals
Krista spent many years in the corporate world doing Program Management and Process Improvement. She spent the majority of her vacation time traveling to remote places to go scuba diving. In 2017, she decided to quit corporate and move near the ocean to Bocas del Toro, Panama.
Upon her arrival, she had a chance introduction to a man who was starting a coral restoration project in the area. They worked together to build Caribbean Coral Restoration for 3 years.
As the need to travel globally and teach coral restoration emerged, Mother of Corals was born. Over the last several years, Krista and the MOC team have taught communities to rebuild reefs all around the world. She’s a champion of coral restoration and was integral in Mission Blue’s designation of the Bocas del Toro Archipelago Hope Spot.
