Sharing a little piece of our CORDAP CLIP 2025 research journey.

We had the opportunity to share our experiences and learnings from our LPS Coral Spawning research at the Indonesia National Coral Reef Restoration Forum, organized by SCORES IPB in Denpasar, Bali, on 8–10 September 2026.

The forum brought together people working with coral reefs from different backgrounds — including government, practitioners, businesses, and coastal communities — each bringing their own experiences, perspectives, and needs.

During the forum, Silki Anisa Hidayat, representing YKLI, shared her experience throughout the research journey and her perspective as a scientist on the importance of research and development (R&D) in coral reef restoration. Not only to broaden the diversity of species used in restoration, but also to explore more adaptive approaches in responding to the challenges of climate change.

Meanwhile, Suryo Kusumo, representing the Indonesian Ornamental Coral Association, shared a perspective from the ornamental coral sector, highlighting the importance of cross-sector collaboration and staying adaptive as we face the challenges ahead in coral restoration.

We may come with different perspectives, shaped by different experiences and different needs. But in the end, we meet on common ground: we care about our coral reefs and want to do our best to conserve Indonesia’s coral reefs.

Thank you for creating a space to share, learn, collaborate, and keep innovating.

It was a Monday, and as usual, we were doing our routine maintenance in the research tanks. In the middle of it, we noticed something really tiny — a small, colourful polyp starting to emerge.

They’re only around 0.5 cm in size. So tiny that even our camera struggled to find its focus. 😅 But as small as they are, finding them means a lot to us and gives us a new sense of hope for our research.

After taking a closer look and searching around the tank, we found three coral recruits that had settled.

From here, we’ll be closely monitoring their growth and development.

They may be tiny, but we’re really excited to see where they go from here.

Hari Senin itu, seperti biasa, kami sedang melakukan rutinitas maintenance di bak penelitian. Di tengah rutinitas tersebut, kami melihat sesuatu yang kecil sekali — polip mungil berwarna yang mulai muncul.

Ukurannya hanya sekitar 0,5 cm. Bahkan kamera kami pun cukup kesulitan untuk menemukan fokusnya. 😅 Tapi sekecil apa pun, buat kami ini adalah penemuan yang sangat berarti dan menjadi harapan baru dalam penelitian kami.

Setelah diperhatikan dan dicari lagi, kami menemukan tiga coral recruits yang sudah settled di dalam bak.

Mulai sekarang, kami akan terus memantau pertumbuhan dan perkembangannya dengan lebih intensif.

They may be tiny, but we’re really excited to see where they go from here. 🪸

LPS corals memang tumbuh lebih lambat, tetapi memiliki peran penting dalam membangun struktur terumbu karang dan menjaga keanekaragaman hayati. Melalui proyek ini, kami mempelajari LPS sejak awal kehidupannya melalui coral spawning.

Although LPS corals grow more slowly, they play a vital role in building reef structure and supporting marine biodiversity. Through this project, we are studying LPS corals from the very beginning of their life cycle through coral spawning.

Preparing well is an essential step before starting any research.

In December 2025, the research team relocated from Jakarta to Bali to begin the early preparations for the CORDAP CLIP 2025 LPS coral spawning research. During this period, we focused on strengthening our technical readiness, coordination, and system preparation before the research officially begins after the Eid holiday.

One of the first activities was collaborating with PT Neptune Aquatic Marine in Bali, where we had the opportunity to observe Euphyllia glabrescens spawning in their facility. This experience served as an initial training for our team to closely observe the spawning process, from gamete release, larval settlement, to early development.

In addition, we conducted internal meetings to plan the first six months of the project, including research activities, coordination with collaborators, task distribution, and financial planning.

The team also learned practical husbandry techniques for ex situ coral systems, including daily monitoring of water quality (temperature, salinity, and pH) and weekly checks of nutrient and growth-related parameters.

Before the Eid break, we prepared the observation tanks that will be used in the study—cleaning the systems, checking equipment, replacing filters, and ensuring everything is functioning properly. With support from the team at PT Neptune Aquatic Marine, we also maintained the tanks by managing lighting schedules so that existing coralline algae can continue to grow and help support coral health during the upcoming research period.

These preparations mark the first steps toward conducting our coral spawning research, ensuring that once the holiday ends, the team and systems are ready to begin.

Yayasan Karang Lestari Indonesia (YKLI) is proud to share that we have been selected as a CLIP 2025 awardee, enabling our team to conduct a 24-month research project titled:

“Low-cost ex situ and in situ approaches to enhance growth and adaptation of large polyp stony (LPS) corals in Indonesia.”

The project is led by Dr. Suryo Kusumo, with co-leads Silki Anisa Hidayat ( ), Yunita Multi Cahyaningrum ( ), Astri Ayuningtias ( ), and Ardaffa Firdausy Rahadiya (.fr ).

This research is supported by the Coral Research & Development Accelerator Platform (CORDAP) , which was launched by the G20 in 2020 to fast-track research and development solutions to save the world’s corals. CORDAP brings together leading experts from around the world in a transdisciplinary effort to accelerate innovation and develop the technologies needed to secure a future for coral reefs.

The project is also a collaboration between YKLI, AKKII, CV. Cahaya Baru, PT. Neptune Aquatic Marine, and PT. Nini Srirejeki, highlighting the importance of cross-sector partnerships in advancing science-based solutions for coral reef conservation.

We are incredibly excited to begin this journey and look forward to sharing updates and insights along the way.

YKLI ikut serta dalam pelaksanaan kegiatan survei populasi karang hias ke-2 di Bulukumba, Sulawesi Selatan pada tanggal 11-20 Oktober 2025 sebagai bagian dari upaya pengumpulan data dasar untuk mendukung pengelolaan dan pemanfaatan karang hias yang berkelanjutan.

Kegiatan ini dilaksanakan melalui kolaborasi multipihak yang melibatkan Asosiasi Koral, Kerang, dan Ikan Hias Indonesia (AKKII), Badan Riset dan Inovasi Nasional (BRIN), Yayasan Karang Lestari Indonesia (YKLI), BPSPL Makassar, serta nelayan lokal sebagai pemangku kepentingan utama di wilayah pesisir.

Survei dilakukan untuk memperoleh gambaran kondisi populasi karang hias di lapangan yang diharapkan dapat menjadi dasar dalam penyusunan kebijakan, pengelolaan sumber daya pesisir, serta penguatan peran masyarakat dalam konservasi ekosistem terumbu karang.
