Bio-rock: Reef Reborn 2013

In the North-West of Bali, in the Bay of Pemuteran a Coral Nursery started 13 years ago and is now showing incredible results. The "Karang Lestari Project" is a successful Coral Restoration Project using Bio-Rock Technology. It is right off the Beach of Taman Sari Bali Cottages. What used to be in the year 2000 a barren underwater landscape is now a fantastic coral garden. Protection by the Village of Pemuteran, Bio-Rock Technology and a dedicated team made this possible.

Koh Tao Hin Fai Biorock Project 2008

In 2008 the community of Koh Tao came together with the Save Koh Tao Group to construct the largest Biorock(tm) Artificial Reef Structure in the Gulf of Thailand. This structure is being used as an alternative dive site to reduce preseeures on natural areas, as a buoyancy training ground for novice divers, and as a coral and fish nursery. Due to Biorock technology, corals on the site will grow 3-5 times faster than corals in natural conditions, mainting or even increasing the biodiversity, resilience, and abundance of corals around our island.

In Pemuteran, Bali, scientists, conservationists hotels, dive shops, fishermen, and villages have gotten together to build coral nurseries on which corals grow faster than normal, and around which fish school. To repopulate the area as quickly as possible with coral and fish, coral nurseries were built using the Electrolytic Mineral Accretion Technology (BiorockTM) of Hilbertz and Goreau. It is an outstanding effort to save corals from manmade destruction by bombs, cyanide fishing and global warming.
