OUR WORK

WE UNDERSTOOD THE IMPORTANCE OF CORALS. SO, WE STOOD UP, PACKED OUR GEAR, GOT ON THE BOAT, AND DID SOMETHING ABOUT IT!

OUR MISSION

TO REGROW

50,000 M²

OF CORALS

MORE THAN 62% OF THE INDONESIAN ARCHIPELAGO CONSISTS OF OCEAN AND OUR WORLD IS COVERED BY NEARLY 70% OF OCEAN

Oceans are the primary source of oxygen for the planet, responsible for 70% of all the oxygen we breathe.

 

No matter how far mankind lives from the seas, it is still important to protect them.

 

The earth's oceans contain a wide variety of life, but all of them have their roots in coral reefs. Imagine a forest without trees, and all you'll have is bare land without life.

Coral reefs play an important role in marine life, and the importance of coral ecosystems is vital to all life.

They are a source of food for millions, they protect coastlines from storms and erosion, and provide habitat, spawning and nursery grounds for economically important fish species. This ecosystem can provide jobs and income for local economies as well, from fishing, recreation, and tourism.

By building 5 hectares of reef, we will not only be giving back to the ocean and rebuilding the lost marine habitat and biodiversity in the area, but also impacting the local communities that depend on this reef for sustenance and tourism.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

OUR APPROACH

THE MARRS REEF STAR

The MARRS Reef Star structure is a hexagonal steel structure coated with resin and sand as an artificial substrate for up to 18 coral fragments.

 

We have seen great success using this method at our site, and the modularity of the structure itself has helped us gain more flexibility in its placement.

THE IMPORTANCE

OF MAINTENANCE

Just like the garden in your home, our conservation site also requires care and maintenance after the corals are planted. The recently planted coral fragments will need more maintenance since they are more susceptible to other competitors such as algae and sponges, as well as other sessile marine organisms.

To prevent that from happening, we will monitor the structures routinely and remove any competitors/pests that will affect the coral growth. Not just that, for older structures, we will also replace dead corals with new fragments to boost the full coverage and density of the site.

PROVING

OUR IMPACT

Livingseas plans to cover 1 hectare of Padangbai's coast with a healthy and diverse coral reef.

 

The site is located off Padangbai, on the East Coast of Bali. After years of misuse, the beautiful natural fringing reef has been destroyed, and we want to restore that reef and bring back the marine biodiversity.

KEZIA NATAYA

A PATRON SINCE 2019

"As a diver I really enjoy seeing the underwater beauty, the lively corals and sea life. However, I’ve begun to see the heart-breaking sight of damaged corals on almost every dive. Coral reefs provide homes and life for many marine animals. If they continue to get damaged, marine life will surely cease to exist. That is why I am so keen on supporting the coral restoration project initiated by Livingseas. 

 

Last November, I went to visit the coral restoration sites which they started in 2018 and was so blown away by the growth of the corals and the rich life in them. Looking at the before and after pictures of the sites were so amazing, it’s like the project really gave the coral reefs a second chance.

I believe it’s not an easy task to set up the reef stars and taking care of the corals, making sure that they are not just surviving but also growing well. It definitely takes a lot of time, effort, consistency and commitment. That’s why I really appreciate what the Livingseas team has done in their coral restoration project, while at the same time I am also feeling privileged and happy to be able to support them through funding by subscribing to their Reef Star plan.

 

A quote says, “alone we can go faster but together we can go further.” I believe that coral restoration is a long journey and it would be nice if we could work together along that journey."
