Baby Coral Adoption :

The Issue: 

Pemuteran used to be a fishermen village with very dry climate. Around the late 90s when there were a global recession, Indonesian political chaos, and climate disasters of La Nina and El Nino made the life for majority of Indonesian very tough even just to survive. During this tough economic situation, fisherman resorted to using dynamite and cyanide for fishing to increase their productivity. This fishing method quickly obliterated both the fish and the corals resulting to badly damaged reefs and empty underwater flora and fauna.
