Combining science and community knowledge could shape coral reef conservation in Indonesia
Researchers from Hasanuddin University in Indonesia have combined scientific methods like underwater photography and drone surveys with local community knowledge to assess coral reef conditions in the Spermonde Archipelago. While they found higher live coral cover in clearer waters, community readiness for conservation efforts is limited, indicating a need for training and institutional support to enhance local involvement in protecting these natural treasures.
