PARTNERS
We’re proud to have incredible partners by our side supporting our work on coral reef restoration and
sustainable fish sourcing.
MEET THE LOCAL ISLAND COMMUNITIES
Our restoration process has been developed in partnership with the island communities of Badi and Bontosua in the Spermonde Archipelago, Indonesia. Their trust, hospitality and leadership has been instrumental in us helping them to restore their coral reefs. Hope Reef, built off the coast of Bontosua, is the result of a unique collaboration with that community. Their dedication is at the heart of all the success achieved so far.
We are pleased the communities have appointed ambassadors representing key social groups (e.g. youth, women, fishermen) on the islands. We will continue to support the initiatives they identify and lead, to help improve their reef-based livelihoods. We also want to take this opportunity to once again thank these communities for their support in making this happen.

Rangkaian kegiatan restorasi ini merupakan kerja nyata bersama dengan masyarakat di Pulau Badi dan Pulau Bontosua, yang terletak di Kepulauan Spermonde. Kebersamaan, semangat, dan keramahan masyarakat adalah kunci dan bagi semua upaya yang kami lakukan untuk bersama melakukan restorasi terumbu karang.
Kami sangat senang melihat anggota masyarakat bersama-sama memilih duta yang mewakili berbagai kelompok seperti pemuda, perempuan, dan nelayan. Kami akan terus mendukung berbagai inisiatif yang telah mereka pilih dan prakarsai, tentunya dalam usaha meningkatkan taraf hidup melalui berbagai mata pencaharian yang bergantung pada terumbu karang. Sekali lagi, terima kasih kepada seluruh masyarakat, karena tanpa mereka, ini semua tidak dapat terwujud.
