SCHOLAR REEF 2021

Youth is the future of sustainable coral conservation
Indonesia has 2,5 million hectares of coral reefs but more than 30% are destroyed. Even though hundreds of billions of rupiah of the budget is spent for restoration and conservation, the impact of coral restoration is mostly unknown or far from sustainable.
Why Scholar Reef?
Scholar Reef is a program designed for future coral protectors using science based approach through class, hands on experience and creating powerful networks so they are able to protect their marine ecosystem and help their community become stronger to support sustainable coral reef conservation.
Scholar Reef is also an effort to gather scientific information of coral reef restoration impacts to push the government to evaluate and collaborate in better planning of sustainable reef restoration programs.
