A community-based coral rehabilitation program developed by fishermen on Serangan island has attracted more tourists to Serangan to adopt coral. It has also boosted the economy of people living in the area.
The Buleleng administration plans to apply so-called “biorock” technology for the preservation of coral reefs in the waters off North Bali. The technology was first applied to preserve coral in Pemuteran Bay under the guidance of the Karang Lestari Foundation.
Since its start in 2000, the Pemuteran coral restoration project has received local and international recognition for its successful community-based effort to restore the damaged coral reefs at Pemuteran Bay.
