Review Description

North Bali Reef Conservation is a Non-Governmental Organisation and volunteering program based in the small fishing village of Tianyar on the North East coast of Bali. Tianyar’s reef has potential to be a healthy and highly diverse coral reef but is currently in poor condition due to abusive and unsustainable actions in the past. Until the 1950s the Tianyar beach was a port for traders who used to anchor their ships on the reef. Before, it was also fashionable to harvest coral for it to be crushed into a fine white powder and used to show a families wealth when painted on the outside of their house. More recently, the marine ecosystem is under pressure from plastic pollution choking marine life as well as pressure from local fishermen. An urgent need to protect and conserve the reef was identified and in July 2017 North Bali Reef Conservation was founded by I Ketut De Sujana Mahartana, the founder of Volunteer in Bali Program and Zach Boakes, an undergraduate environmental scientist. Alongside our aim to restore and conserve Tianyar’s coral reef, we also aim to provide an alternative, sustainable livelihood to the local people. North Bali Reef Conservation has since started several environmental and sustainability projects focusing on education, mentality change, no take Marine Protection Area (MPA), pollution reduction, and the construction of artificial reef structures.

I stayed for three weeks. You volunteer from Monday to Thursday and the rest of the time is your own. A group of us each Thursday would head off to a nearby village to check out some of the other areas in Bali. Each week you do 1-2 dives if you want to and then you can go to other areas and do ...

I’ve spent 2 weeks helping the North Bali Reef Conservation’s team and it has been amazing. Nova, Sukma, Danda, Made (I hope I’ve written the name correctly!) and the rest of the team are kind, patient and really care about the volunteers and of course the program. Sukma took care of all ...

One of the best experiences I've made so far. I only stayed for about 2 weeks on the camp site but got to connect with amazing people, other volounteers, the staff and the local people as well. The camp site was very remote which I enjoyed and we got to do the more touristy stuff on the weekends. ..

Ich war erst für 4 Woche im Projekt, habe es dann aber um weitere 4 Wochen verlängert, weil es mir sehr gut gefallen hat. Vor Ort sind die Unterbringungen einfach, haben aber alles was man braucht. Manche Unterkünfte haben private Duschen und Toiletten, andere haben ein Gemeinschaftsbad. Es gibt ...

J'ai passé 1 mois au Nord de Bali pour aider à la restauration du récif corallien local. Ce fut une superbe expérience, le lieu est génial et l'équipe sur place est au top ! J'ai rencontré des personnes formidables que ce soit au niveau des volontaires, du staff et des drivers/fishermen ...
