why color matters?
Yesterday, got new experience with my friends (Ryannika, Ida, Zaki and Rindra) to try another new cool stuff, coral health chart from CoralWatch (citizen science project based at The University of Queensland, in Brisbane, Australia) yeay! This Chart is basically a series of sample colours, with variation in brightness representing different stages of bleaching/recovery, based […]
How can you help coral reefs?
You make a difference! By taking a few simple actions, you can reduce your contributions to pollution,greenhouse gases, and climate change. Even small changes can help to protect coral reefs and help to keep them healthy. Friends of the reef pick up their trash wherever they are. Wind and rain carry trash to the beach […]

A protected back reef?
For me it’s very surprising since this is my first time saw a coral zonation in this area. This area lies in Gunung kidul area which well known with its high wave action. In term of ecology, wave action is one of limiting factor for coral growth. Anyway, the “sheltered moat” nearshore behind rock structure […]
