Following recent boat crash on Raja Ampat coral reef, Indonesian Biodiversity Foundation (Kehati) set up a trust fund focusing on sea patrol and people empowerment.

A legal instrument to enforce coral reefs damages by MV Caledonian Sky yacht was being prepared by the government team, said Minister of Environment and Forestry, Siti Nurbaya Bakar.

Nearly 90 percent of world’s coral reefs would be gone by 2050 which poses threats for millions of people in developing countries.

Indonesia succeeded in pushing forward sustainable coastal reef management to be included in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) agenda at UN Environment Assembly (UNEA-2), held on May 23-27, in Nairobi, Kenya.
