In this vlog, Yudi goes over how the monsoon season has impacted our restoration efforts, tackles the emergence of even more opponents to our corals, and checks out the undersea nightlife at our first restoration site!"

ABOUT THIS PROJECT
Coral reefs are known as “the rainforests of the sea”. These vibrantly complex ecosystems harbour the highest biodiversity of any ecosystem globally. An estimated 25% of all marine species depend on reefs. They are also crucial for millions of people, providing food, livelihoods, resources and coastal protection.
Major threats, such as over-exploitation and climate change, are jeopardising the future of coral reefs. In the last few decades, sharp declines in reef cover have occurred worldwide. This is our first coral reef project to restore damaged reefs in the northern waters of Nusa Penida, Indonesia.
Our long-term goal is to improve resilience by enhancing connectivity of fragmented reefs whilst protecting and preserving endangered coral species. Led by our local team of expert divers and marine biologists passionate about the preservation of this marine ecosystem, we work with local people to promote positive community involvement in coral reef restoration.

This is interesting! Apparently there's a concept of a "fish aggregation device" (FAD, no really) in commercial fishing, which is basically a raft put somewhere to attract fish that like shade.

The Nature Conservancy has been looking into the idea of using these to lure fish away from sensitive locations like coral reefs, and communities in Papua New Guinea have been trying it out - and it seems to be working.

The Nature ConservancyResearch Explores Use of Commercial Fishing Gear as a Conservation ToolA study published in the journal Conservation Letters reveals insights into how fish aggregating devices (FADs) could enhance the effectiveness of blue water marine protected areas.

We have deployed 2000 structures to patch up a reef in Indonesia and the results were immediate!
