Adopt a Reef in Bali

[Gouldian]

Karang Lestari, the community-based foundation that initiated the coral reef restoration project in Pemuteran Bay in Buleleng regency, north Bali, is inviting everyone, locals and tourists, to help save Bali’s coral reef by adopting corals. The coral adoption program is expected to support the coral reef restoration project, which has been running since 2000.

“People can buy a stem of baby coral and support its growth. The more people who take part, the better,” said Agung Prana, the program initiator.

Prana said that quite a few foreign tourists participated. “They can choose the coral stem, bind it to the frame and put it into the sea. They also write their name on the coral reef. Most of them looked happy to do it,” he said.

To adopt one stem of coral, Prana said, the foundation had not set a price. “It depends on their sincerity. Their donation is needed to maintain the reef,” he added.
