1 ECOTOURISM CAN HELP SAVE INDONESIA S CORAL REEFS Tom Goreau Scientific Advisor, Biorock Indonesia President, Global Coral Reef Alliance 2018 GLOBAL ECO ASIA-PACIFIC TOURISM CONFERENCE Townsville November
2 INDONESIA Largest area of coral reefs in the world. World centre of marine biodiversity. 17,000 islands, 270 million people. Around 95% of reefs destroyed, damaged, or degraded. Causes: blast fishing, global warming, sewage runoff, soil erosion, agricultural chemicals, new marine diseases, unsustainable tourism.
3 BIOROCK INDONESIA & GLOBAL CORAL REEF ALLIANCE Have built around 400 Biorock reefs in Indonesia and around 100 across the Caribbean, Pacific, Indian Ocean and South East Asia. Held around 20 Biorock Training Workshops. Restored reefs where there was no natural recovery. Kept whole reefs alive during severe high temperature bleaching events that killed more than 95% of corals on nearby reefs. Restored coastal fisheries. Grown back severely eroded beaches naturally at record rates.
4 BIOROCK TECHNOLOGY The only method of reef restoration that greatly increases settlement, growth rates, survival, and resistance to extreme high temperature, sediment, and pollution stress. Works for corals and all marine animals and plants. Biorock allows us to keep entire ecosystems alive when they would die from severe stress, and restore them where there is no natural recovery. All other methods are doomed to fail as global warming and pollution increase.

17 BIOROCK TEAM SAVING THE LAST REEFS IN AMBON BAY
18 Tom Goreau, Narayana Dodge, & Wolf Hilbertz
19 UNSUSTAINABLE TOURISM Every tropical coastal area is counting on tourism for their economic future. Most hotels have to take their guests hours by boat to see a reef because their own reef is dead. Almost all are lying about the condition of the reefs because their own dive shops never saw the reefs when they were in their prime. All are killing the goose that laid the golden egg!
20 UNSUSTAINABLE TOURISM Every tropical shore tourist area in the world is killing their reefs through short sighted mismanagement. The effects of global warming and global sea level rise have barely begun and will get much worse unless the world takes immediate action to reduce CO2 in the atmosphere and recycle their sewage nutrients on land.
21 For each reef we save, we are losing ten thousand! Pemuteran in Bali, Gili Trawangan in Lombok, and Pulau Gangga Dive Resort in Sulawesi are the only hotels in the world restoring their reefs with modern and effective methods, because of the exceptionally responsible values of their owners. Coral fragmentation and gardening methods used elsewhere are doomed to long term failure. Until hotels everywhere are legally mandated to restore their dead reefs, that they killed themselves, there will be no real progress.
22 The very first reef in the world to be studied by a diving scientist, Prof. Tom Goreau, my father, were killed right afterwards. The reefs were dredged for landfill to create land for hotels in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. Photographs of me diving on Ocho Rios reefs in January 1957 taken by my father, shortly before they were killed:

29 THEY CAN T SAY WE DIDN T WARN THEM: 20 YEARS AGO TODAY IN TOWNSVILLE
30 I m an old man who has spent all my life telling people why their reefs are dying. I m sick of wasting time, because no one is listening. All I want to do is grow corals. Almost no place will let us!
31 We ve shown large scale regeneration of coral reefs, biodiversity, fisheries, and beaches can be done! Almost nobody has the will to do so on a large scale until we have intelligent, informed political leadership and funding.
