Aquaculture Reef Coral Supporting Conservation | First Due Aquatic Rescue

First Due Aquatic Rescue is a small, locally based mobile aquarium service operating out of Kinderhook, New York, and sharing space with our partners. Our primary mission is to support coral research, restoration, conservation, and education through our partnership with CapitalCoral, INC.

While we do operate as a for-profit small business, a portion of our sales directly supports our partners’ ongoing efforts. Any profit we make is modest, and our focus remains on contributing to coral research and responsible reef keeping.

We have been active in the aquarium hobby for a little over five years and openly acknowledge that there is always more to learn. We see ourselves as students of the hobby as much as service providers. Through our partnership, we offer local reefers an avenue to order marine fish and access professional quarantine services.

We understand that trust must be earned. We are grateful for the guidance, support, and advice we’ve received from other coral vendors and members of the reefing community as we continue to grow and improve.

First Due Aquatic Rescue does not seek to compete with local fish stores, aquarium service companies, or coral vendors. Our goal is to complement the existing local aquarium community while providing freshwater and saltwater aquarium services. As we grow, we will also be exploring pond cleaning and maintenance as a future avenue of expansion.
