Coral Reef Rehabilitation Program by Chandra Asri and Kelompok Konservasi Alam Bawah Laut Shows Growth

PT Chandra Asri Petrochemical Tbk (Chandra Asri) along with Kelompok Konservasi Alam Bawah Laut (Underwater Nature Conservation Group) of Sukaram Village carry out efforts to rehabilitate coral reef ecosystems in the North Pulo Panjang area through coral reef transplantation. To monitor the progress of the rehabilitation, Chandra Asri conducted monitoring on Saturday, 11 June 2022, attended by the Banten Provinve Environment and Forestry Service.. The growth of the first stage of transplantation reaching 0.022 cm/day or 0.669 cm/month and the second stage is 0.028 cm/day or 0.853 cm/month. The assumed annual growth in stage one transplantation is about 8.03 cm/year, while in stage two it is around 10.24 cm/year. The survival rate of coral reefs in both stages of the transplant is 100%. This coral reef rehabilitation program with a total transplant of 1,270 substrates is aimed to repair the damaged shelves. Throughout 2022, the monitoring is scheduled for three times. Coral transplants made as Artificial Coral Reef have become a living habitat for associated biota, both as a home for coral reef biota, a shelter for baby fish (nursery ground), as well as a habitat for big fish and various megabenthos.
