Coral reefs are one of the most important resource potentials in Indonesia. Coral reef resources are one of the main sources and part of fishermen's life. Coral reefs also have a very high aesthetic value that can be used as a tourist attraction that can increase foreign exchange. Physically corals protect the pantal from degradation and abrasion.
In addition, coral reefs have a very important function as spawning, food-seeking, marine biota and as a source of germplasm as well as various bioactive materials and ingredients that are useful in pharmacy and medicine.
Coral reef function that can not be used is a means of education and research, to appreciate the necessary environments, which are necessary for maintenance and habitats that can be connected in good condition.
The management of coral reefs is very important, meaning a very profitable coral reef ecosystem can support the life of local fishermen.
If coral reef habitats are not harassed then their functions will be optimal and coral fish production will be harvested sustainably and provide social and economic benefits to communities across Indonesia for the present and future in line with national development.
