Coral reef ...

In Indonesia that surrounding by seas, we can find so many areas that have corals reef. There are some of kind beautiful places to visit in Indonesia like in Bali, Laut Banda in east area Indonesia. Now days the corral reef in Indonesia the damaged an it make the amount of the coral in Indonesia is decreasing for example in karang lestari,pemutaran bali .President Megawati Sukarno Putri said at the International Coral Reef Symposium in October 2000 in Bali that around 94% of Indonesia's coral reefs were already severely damaged. The large-scale destruction of coral habitat has made recovery of fish populations impossible until damaged coral reef areas are restored. Recent work in Pemuteran, Bali has shown that coral reefs can be quickly restored and fish populations greatly increased using new methods that speed up the growth of corals, oysters, abalone, and clams, and create new habitat for fishes, crabs, octopus and other forms of sea life (http:global coral.com).
