North Bali based NGO working with volunteers and local communities to restore and protect its coral reef ecosystems. Facebook: www.facebook.com/BalireefconservationInstagram: @north_bali_reef_conservationEver since there have been people in Tianyar, there have been people fishing in Tianyar. Reef damage and degradation associated with fishing has slowly broken down large areas of otherwise healthy reef, leaving a barren, sandy sea floor where there should be diversity rivalling that in the Amazon Rainforest. An urgent need to protect and conserve the reef was identified and in July 2017 North Bali Reef Conservation was founded by Ketut De Sujana Mahartana, the founder of Volunteer in Bali Program and Zach Boakes, an undergraduate environmental scientist. Alongside our aim to restore and conserve Tianyar's coral reef, we also aim to provide an alternative, sustainable livelihood to the local people. North Bali Reef Conservation has since started several environmental and sustainability projects focusing on education, mentality change, no take Marine Protection Area (MPA), pollution reduction, and direct reef restoration from artificial reef structures.
