North Bali Reef Conservation

North Bali Reef Conservation is an Indonesian NGO located in the small fishing village of Tianyar. Due to irresponsible fishing, construction and human behaviors, the reef in this area was almost destroyed. The program was set up in 2017 in order to urgently restore and conserve the remaining coral and to provide alternative, sustainable employment to the local community. The reefs in Tianyar have the potential to return to being a healthy and highly diverse ecosystem.

The focus of the program has been restoration, sinking over 14,000 artificial reefs since commencing their work, re-introducing the stable substrate required for the natural recruitment of coral from near by reefs.
