Coral Reef Care

Foundation, marine conservation More than 25% of all marine species live in and around coral reefs. the so-called ‘spill-over effect’.

More than 700 million people depend on coral reefs for food and income. Coral reefs are the rainforests of our oceans, their protection is essential. Man's consumptive wishes, fishery methods, water acidization, global warming and pollution have an impact on the world's oceans and its inhibitants that is beyond imagination. Coral Reef Care protects the most fragile marine ecosystems - coral reefs.

Coral reefs cover less than 1% of world’s oceans, yet they are still mostly unprotected. Coral restoration, building artificial reefs, awareness campaigns with a bottom-up and community-based approach are a few of our activities. But most importantly, through community awareness we strive for more marine protected areas. Fishermen of poor communities often understand the ocean better than the large industrial fisheries. They understand that if nothing is done, there won’t be any fish left for them and their children. They understand that by protecting important areas, this can improve marine life in adjacent areas i.e. We aim for that community involvement and believe it’s the best way to have a durable and sustainable conservation plan. Coral Reef Care is active in East Africa and Indonesia.

The innovative idea of 'Map the Giants' is to map the largest coral colonies in the world, and turn them into marine monuments. Corals are one of the oldest species on our planet and we are losing them in an unprecedented pace due to climate change, overfishing, ocean acidification and other human impact. Finding, studying and turning corals into underwater icons can help conserve these majestic wonders of our planet.

Our project in Bukti is in collaboration with the Bukti community and Pokmaswas Satya Bahari Desa Bukti

Our mangrove restoration and ecotourism project in Lombok in full progress!

Rays, sharks, guitarfish, skates, they are all 'elasmobranchs'. These species are heavily overfished around the world. In Kenya and Indonesia we work together with local fishermen to protect elasmobranchs. Thru awareness campaigns we explain their various crucial roles in the ecosystem, the law on protected species, ways to prevent bycatch, etc. Together we try to find alternative livelihoods for the fishers in for instance shark- or mangrove-ecotourism and in permaculture.
