New designs in our online store!

We’ve added three fun, new shirt designs in our online retail store for our supporters abroad to purchase their favourite CCMI items. From our classic CCMI logo shirts to our new limited-edition custom artwork (designed by our very own Education Assistant, Chandré) design – you can choose your perfect design and shirt colour in a tee, long sleeve, or a hoodie in either adult or youth sizes!

Items are ordered and fulfilled through Bonfire, so shipping to locations in North America – and even worldwide – is no problem. Be among the first to own these new retail items – and spread the word about our store so others can show support, too!

A portion of the proceeds from the sale of each item will be donated to CCMI to support our urgent work to understand coral resiliency in the face of a rapidly changing climate that is putting significant pressure on coral reefs around the world.
