Indonesia

Indonesia is home to more than 2 million hectares of reefs.

Coral reefs are an important food source for Indonesia, and provide a number of important ecological services. However, many reefs across the region are at risk of degradation, often related to anthropogenic impact. Ensuring the future health of reefs and maintaining the ecological services they provide requires a range of reef management strategies. Education is an important component of effective reef management, as it contributes to support for various management initiatives and may influence behaviours at an individual and community level. CoralWatch has developed various Reef Education materials for use in Indonesian schools, conservation groups and other educational settings.
