Organized by Reef Check Foundation, Coral Reef Alliance and The Marine Foundation, the event will feature an exhibition of underwater photography at Beachwalk Mall, Kuta, which will run from June 8 to June 29.
The photography exhibition is part of the Art for Oceans program by The Marine Foundation and focused on addressing the issue of coral reef degradation and raising awareness of the pressing need to protect the health of the oceans.
Coral reefs in Bali had been facing rising threats, while at the same time, the number of people relying on marine resources for their livelihood is increasing. Just like in other places in the world, coral reefs in Bali have been significantly threatened by the impact of development on land and in coastal areas, destructive and overfishing, as well as global warming. It needs cooperation between local communities, the government and related stakeholders to recover the damage.
On the other hand, many people on the island rely on marine tourism for their livelihoods. And since Bali is also well known for its art and creativity, art and tourism could be engaged to be part of the campaign to raise public awareness about marine conservation.
