Remember CCMI in this season of giving
From CCMI & Little Cayman Research Centre
Your #GivingTuesday donation will grow CCMI’s impact for coral reefs!
This year, we’re asking our supporters near and far to join together today on #GivingTuesdayand support CCMI’s amends to the NEW facility!
CCMI recently expanded! We now have a new 6,000 sq ft building next door to the Little Cayman Research Centre, which will serve as our new facility expansion! This new building DOUBLES our capacity to host visiting students, researchers, and citizen scientists, which will help us inspire the next generation of ocean stewards and grow our research programme at a critical time for coral reefs.
But we need YOUR help.
The new building needs some amends to convert and fit it out to become the fully functional space that we need! This will take some investment to change some of the existing structure to serve the purposes for which we envision its use: dorm-style rooms, classroom and study spaces, lecture facilities, and more.
Donate through this special Giving Tuesday effort and help CCMI create a world-class marine education and research space that will serve up to 800 students and researchers each year!

Even more ways to support CCMI on Giving Tuesday…and through the year!
SUPPORT CCMI’s RESEARCH
Donate to CCMI’s Research
We all know the ocean is under immense pressure. Climate change, coral bleaching, over-exploitation, and disease outbreaks – and without immediate, science-based intervention, coral reefs face an uncertain future. There is hope — and you can be part of the solution.
Due to recent funding and aid reductions from international universities and governments, your continued support is more vital than ever. Every contribution directly empowers CCMI to sustain critical research, education, and reef restoration efforts right here in the Cayman Islands.
SUPPORT CCMI’s RESEARCH
Donate to support education scholarships
