within the coastal areas of Lombok, Indonesia.
Coral reefs support 33% of all known fish species despite covering only 0.1% of the ocean floor.
Over a quarter of all marine species depend on coral reefs during their life cycle.
Coral reef ecosystems contribute an estimated $2.4 million per year through fisheries, tourism, and coastal services.
Indonesia's coral reefs protect more than 50,000 kilometers of coastline from wave erosion and storm damage.
Globally, over 50% of coral reefs have been lost, with Indonesia among the most heavily impacted regions.
Industrial fishing has reduced large ocean fish populations by up to 90% from pre-industrial levels.
Illegal and destructive fishing damage reef ecosystems, leaving impacts that are difficult to reverse.
Coastal development and deforestation increase runoff, smothering corals and blocking sunlight essential for growth.
Plastic waste and marine debris contaminate reef systems, harming coral structures and marine species.
Rising ocean temperatures cause coral bleaching, weaken reef resilience, and lead to mass die-offs.
