Dear Sir or Madam,
The program is created in cooperation of the Marine Foundation, Coral Reef
Alliance, Reef Foundation Check Indonesia, Body Shop Indonesia, and Bunutan
Purwekherti villagers, as well as observers and environmentalists. The workshop
and exhibition is supported by the Beach Walk and Tapeo Restaurant.
Threats to coral reefs are increasing, so does the number of people who depend on
them, especially the Bali island communities. It takes a cross-sectoral cooperation to
alleviate the threats to coral reefs. Therefore, on celebration of World Ocean Day we
are holding a workshop to inspire discussion and cooperation between all of the
relevant actors, and introduction of the campaign of raising awareness called "Art for
Oceans". We would be very honored if a representative of your company would join
us for the workshop. The workshop which will be held on:

I. Background
The Biology of Bali
Bali is known for its natural beauty and rich traditional culture. Bali is also
biologically important as it serves as a key in linking the bio-geography of the Lesser
Sunda chain of islands; between the genetic diversity found in western Indonesia
and the Indian Ocean. The results of a Marine Rapid Assessment conducted by
Conservaton International in Bali showed the close connectivity of coral reefs of Bali
with a cluster of islands in the Sunda Banda Sea region. The survey also identified
endemic species that are only found along the Sunda Banda, as well as several new
species.
Bali attracts more than 8 million foreign tourists in 2012. Tourism is a very important
economic wheel in Bali. A report by the WWF in 2007 showed that about 80% of the
income of the people in Bali are associated with tourism. One of the important
aspect of this tourism is coastal areas and coral reefs.
Bali and the condition of coral reefs
Coral reefs in Bali thrives mainly in the North and East island. The same as other
regions in the world, Bali’s reefs are significantly threatened by development on
land and in coastal, over fishing, physical damage from activities at sea such as
tourism and fisheries, as well as global warming.
Bali and initiation of networks of marine protected areas
Bali government and partners initiate a program to develop a network of marine
protected areas (MPA network) Bali. A comprehensive island management under a
ridge to the reef (Nyegara Gunung) concept that will be managed as a network.
MPA network aims to build a strong collaborative management across sectors and
institutions in managing natural resources in Bali for the welfare of the people who
depend on it.
Coral Reef Restoration
Unhealthy coral reef will lead to
coral reef deterioration, including
physical damage. Dead damage corals are fragile, and is easily broken under
waves action, creating coral rubble.
Damage to the reef will further reduce fish habitat, including herbivorous fish.
Unresponsible fishing practices aggravate the condition further. The condition put
more pressure to coral to recover.
Coral rubble is moving along with current and waves. This, easily damage coral
larvae that settle on it. In addition, dead coral colony or other hard substrate under
water is very easy to be overgrown by algae. In the absence of herbivorous fish to
eat the algae, there will be a limited space for coral larvae to settle and grow.
Thus, substrate stabilization, as well as the availability of herbivorous fish is the key
for coral reef recovery.
There are some communities that activelly doing this, such as community at
Pemuteran, Tejakula, Amed and Nusa Dua. Certain structures were sinked in
several locations to stabilize the coral rubble. There are also structures submerged
in sandy locations. These structures creates a whole new habitat for marine life,
including herbivorous fish.
The structures the Marine Foundation sumberges are also a work of art. Therefore,
in addition to ecological interests, they also provide positive promotion for tourism
and raising the awareness of the exhisting issues.
To help coral reef to recover; to buid a solid management, requires a
strong collaboration between stakeholders. Substrate stabilization and habitat
enhancement is an approach that has been proven to be quite effective to speed up
the process.
