ABOUT THIS PROJECT
===============================
Coral reefs are known as “the rainforests of the sea”. These vibrantly complex ecosystems harbour the highest biodiversity of any ecosystem globally. An estimated 25% of all marine species depend on reefs. They are also crucial for millions of people, providing food, livelihoods, resources and coastal protection.
Major threats, such as over-exploitation and climate change, are jeopardising the future of coral reefs. In the last few decades, sharp declines in reef cover have occurred worldwide. This is our first coral reef project to restore damaged reefs in the northern waters of Nusa Penida, Indonesia.
Our long-term goal is to improve resilience by enhancing connectivity of fragmented reefs whilst protecting and preserving endangered coral species. Led by our local team of expert divers and marine biologists passionate about the preservation of this marine ecosystem, we work with local people to promote positive community involvement in coral reef restoration.
You can learn more about our projects by searching Mossy Earth and visiting our website.

I love when nature restoration projects also have a real impact on local economies, providing jobs for local, skilled folks like Yudi, Chansa, and Pak. Especially because the project isn't extractive, so all of the good of the work stays in the local community. Awesome stuff.
Exactly that! Thanks for feedback!
It makes me teary eyed to see the beautiful reef fish trying to live around freshly laid structures...the contrast is startling. Coral really does provide half the beauty of reefs.
Brilliant work! And nice to see the fish who are already there.
Great to see behind the scenes, thanks Yudi!
I recently saw a video from someone else in Indonesia doing the same technique
He was able to show 5 yrs worth of growth and my mine was blown
The coral had fully grown and bloomed around the structures and biodiversity was back in abundance
That's amazing to hear! We're pleased with the initial signs of coral growth around our structures. There's plenty of work to be done to bring back coral abundance here too but the team is making good progress in a short space of time. We'll keep you updated as we go!
So cool to get a look at the ground work. Thanks for all you do ❤
We're glad you enjoyed seeing the ground or 'underwater' work 😀 thanks for your support!
that's my favourite of the mossy earth projects, and it's super interesting learning about it!
That's cool to know! It's a firm favourite amongst our team too, coral reefs are a really special ecosystem. Thanks for the support! cheers Tim
Great Job Yudi!
looking forward to seeing how this progresses in the months ahead.
It's really cool to see your daily work, and I'm truly amazed by what you guys did! You all did a really great job! I hope this project goes smoothly, and we can see its progress and positive impact in the future. Good luck guys!! 💪🏻🙌🏻👍🏻
Thank you so much! We'll try our best to repair this stretch of reef. The team are working hard to deploy and maintain the coral fragments to help them survive and establish. We'll keep you updated!
This is great! Important work
Thanks for the encouragement Angela! Cheers Tim
Good work you guys!
Thanks for the positive words and support! cheers Tim
Amazing project and team. I had the oportunity to see it some structures down there and Im looking forward to see the progress!!!
Thanks for the support Rodrigo! We're excited to see the progress too!
So cool, good job and great tim 👍
Thanks, we really appreciate the support!
I have been waiting so long to see work on coral Reefs
Amazing job
The bureaucratic work took longer than we had hoped but it's great to get fully underway with this project now. Thanks for waiting! cheers Tim
i would love to see more behind the scenes 🤩
That's the idea, we're working on putting out regular updates from across our rewilding hubs so you can expect to see more footage from the field! cheers Tim
Love to see your work and impact. ❤ Iam wondering why you are using plastic zip ties and not metal wiring that rusts away after time?
