Scholar Reef

Scholar Reef is a program for Indonesian youth who want to learn to work in marine conservation, lead their project, or create a strong portfolio for their future study. This program will also help coral restoration sites to have scientific data for better planning, impact measurement, and a bridge to sustainability.
