Rehabilitasi Terumbu Karang di Kawasan Konservasi Laut Banda

Summary

The Banda Sea Conservation Area in Eastern Indonesia focuses on the protection, preservation, and sustainable utilization of marine ecosystems. Efforts include coral reef rehabilitation using BioRiftTech concrete tables. In collaboration with local communities, universities, and diving clubs, over 1,250 reef star media were successfully deployed in 2023. The project involves stages such as coral propagation, attachment, underwater placement, and maintenance. The aim is to restore coral growth, boost marine tourism potential, and raise public awareness about the importance of coral reef conservation for the future of marine biodiversity.
