Description: At Indo Ocean, our vision is to foster a thriving and sustainable marine ecosystem across the Republic of Indonesia. This initiative aims to not only enhance the burgeoning tourism industry but also safeguard the well-being of coastal communities for future generations. Through our open-access database and collaborative research efforts, we actively contribute to the development of local legislation, advocating for data-driven marine policies. Conducting field expeditions across three distinct regions in Indonesia, we bring together a diverse group of local and international researchers. Our research areas encompass assessments and restoration efforts for coral reef health, intertidal evaluations, formulation of management strategies and policies for marine protected areas, evaluation of vulnerable and targeted fish stocks, and support for individual research projects in partnership with academic institutions in Indonesia and around the world.
