Restoring Marine Life, One Coral at a Time
Bongoyo Island is home to a rich marine ecosystem, including coral reefs that support local fisheries, tourism, and biodiversity. However, these reefs have suffered severe degradation due to climate change, destructive fishing practices, and pollution. This project aims to restore 15,000 square meters (1.5 hectares) of damaged coral reefs using coral transplantation, artificial reef structures, and community engagement.
