Bali’s coral reefs are essential to marine biodiversity, providing shelter for 25% of marine species.

These reefs also support local communities through tourism and fishing, making them an integral part of both the ecosystem and the economy.

Yet, they are under severe threat due to climate change and pollution.

Coral Crisis

In 2023, 90% of Bali's corals experienced severe bleaching due to rising ocean temperatures, reaching 31-32°C.

This global phenomenon has hit Bali hard, exacerbated by Indonesia's status as the second-largest contributor of ocean plastic waste.

The impact is devastating not only for marine life but also for over 20% of the local population dependent on fishing.

Without urgent action, the collapse of coral ecosystems could have dire consequences for biodiversity, coastal protection, and livelihoods.

The journey began with a life-changing expedition to Papua, where our founder Lia witnessed both the untouched beauty and alarming degradation of coral reefs.

Determined to make a difference, she returned to Bali, assembled a team of marine biologists, divers, and locals, and started to restore reefs.

The project is driven by passion, community involvement, and a shared commitment to reviving the reefs for future generations.

Restore Reefs

We decided we needed to take action to save our oceans. Our team uses cutting-edge techniques like micro fragmentation, where healthy coral fragments are split into smaller pieces for faster growth.

We employ 3D-printed structures and metal frames, lifting corals off the seabed for optimal light and nutrient access.

These structures mimic natural reefs, providing protection from sediment burial and predators. We continuously test and adapt our methods using AI and local knowledge to ensure sustainable, scalable results.

What We Built

Since the project’s inception, we have built 20 metal structures and two coral nurseries, nurturing over 1,000 coral fragments.

These efforts have not only improved coral survival rates but have also attracted more fish, signaling a recovering ecosystem.

The success of these initial milestones lays the foundation for larger-scale restoration efforts.

Our Plan

We aim to plant 10,000 corals, starting with nursery expansion, fragment collection, and regular maintenance to ensure strong growth.

The process includes carefully monitored transplantation to natural reefs and ongoing evaluation. This plan can be accelerated to 2-3 months with increased staff and funding, making your support even more impactful.

Vision

Our long-term vision is to establish Bali as a global model for sustainable coral restoration, demonstrating how conservation, tourism, and community development can coexist.

By creating thriving reef ecosystems, we aim to replicate this model across Indonesia and beyond, ensuring a resilient marine environment, protected coastlines, and sustainable livelihoods.
