Coral Reef Cultivation Using PVC Pipe

As an archipelagic country, Indonesia has the status of one of the richest coral reef paradises in the world. The function and role of coral reefs which are very large for the life of marine biota and humans make their existence important. The reason is, coral reefs provide ecological and economic benefits for the life of living things. Based on the results of the COREMAP-LIPI records in 2020 – reported from mongabay.co.id, the biodiversity of coral reef ecosystems is higher when compared to tropical rain forest ecosystems or other marine coastal ecosystems. In the world, the total production of marine animals from coral reef ecosystems reaches 9 million tons or 12% of the total world fishery catch.

There is a so-called world coral triangle or coral triangle with a very high marine biodiversity, of which Indonesia is one of them. Even though it is only 1.6% of the world’s oceans, the role of the coral triangle is very significant in influencing the world’s environmental conditions.

Condition of Coral Reefs in Indonesia

On the other hand, as reported by Antara.com, the condition of coral reefs in Indonesia can be said to be worrying. Only 6.5% of the total habitat is in very good condition. The threat of damage to coral reefs is caused by climate change and human activities.

In an effort to improve the poor condition of coral reefs, a number of agencies and organizations are trying to rehabilitate damaged corals. One way of rehabilitation is by transplanting using PVC pipes.
