Review Description

Indonesia Coral Reef Garden was born in Lovina north part of the Bali island of Indonesia in 2019. We started as a small group of community-based who were witnessing the vast degradation of the coral reef ecosystem around us and decided to take action. Today the small group grew to a bigger and more attractive team of marine scientists and biologists, engineers, creators, and divers determined to save the reef by restoration, conservation, and generating collaborative action around the world. 

We have built a coral nursery not too far from the shore of Lovina. The nursery made from steel and concrete material protects the coral as it grows. The structure enables us to collect damaged and broken coral and transplant it to the protected nursery. We frequently monitor and track the growth and progress of the baby coral. Rehabilitation of reef ecosystems may progress through the implementation of both preventive as well as active restoration measures. A two-step restoration strategy termed “gardening of denuded coral reefs,” whose central concept is the mariculture of coral recruits in nurseries. In the second step nursery-grown, coral colonies are transplanted to degraded reef sites. 

Our mission is to regrow and replant colonies of coral and take back ocean sustainability for the future, protecting ecological stability and balance, protecting the livelihoods and knowledge of indigenous people. Our goal is to plant more than one million corals during 2025, reach, empower and educate 1000 people through awareness programs, develop tools and methods to facilitate coral reef monitoring. This is just the beginning of the conservation movement of our coral reef ecosystem. We consider our team members to be the key to our successful program. We invite from all around the world in order to find scientists, divers, coral reef warriors, naturalists, and marine enthusiasts with the same grit and determination to restore and rehab the coral reef with coral gardening way and ocean conservation.

I had a brilliant week with Fendi meeting local people & learning more about the impact of the project. Fendi was a perfect 'host' for the week educating me more about the coral, what has happened over time, the purpose of the project and how he has engaged with local dive schools to ensure future ...

We just spent 1 week with Fendi and his wife Angie, who are themselves , very committed marine biologists. It was myself, husband and our 16 year old son. It was MUCH better than I had imagined, and in SO many ways. First, there were 8 dives in 4 days and then a day at the school, and to see a ...

Spent 2 weeks with Fendi on the coral reef volunteer program. It is an amazing experience! We dove in different dive sites in each day of the week, and we are assigned different tasks, e.g. catching coral predators, analysing coral health condition, nurturing baby corals, etc. learnt much about ...
My time spent in Lovina was nothing short of fantastic! As a 19 year old woman, I was nervous to be the only volunteer for the first two weeks. All of my worries went away in the first few days with Fendi and Angi. They are both incredible people who made me feel very comfortable and right at home. ..
