Chris Brown (Reef Seen) was instrumental in setting up the Reef Restoration Project which lies just offshore from Taman Sari. Due to dynamite fishing, much of the reef had been destroyed, but local fisherman, backed by strict enforcement of conservation laws by the police, now fish in a sustainable way. The reef is being regenerated by the sinking of huge metal cages that are infused with a low voltage current which encourages the coral to grow on the metal. Due to heavy rain the water was a bit murky but you can make out the structure and coral in this picture.
