Bali Blue Harmony training with WWF Malaysia
Bali Blue Harmony is a non-profit organization with a vision to create multi-stakeholder discussion and action to conserve coral reefs globally, with a particular focus on the reefs surrounding Bali.
Tun Mustapha Park, Sabah, Malaysia
In 2022, Bali Blue Harmony expanded their restoration effort by training a second Indonesian based NGO, WWF Malaysia, in Reef Star production and installation.
After completion of the MARRS Competency Training, Bali Blue Harmoy assisted WWF Malaysia in their first coral restoration projects using the MARRS method in Sabah, Malaysia. A total of 400 Reef Stars were installed in Maliangin Kecil Island, Tun Mustapha Park and more than 50 participants from local partners, stakeholder networks such as Sabah Parks, Banggi Coral Conservation Society (BCCS), and divers from Mabul, Samporna, including two coral experts from University Malaysia Sabah (UMS) were involved in this project.

Despite challenges like fish bombs and ship damage, the un Mustapha Park's coral restoration project has become a game-changer in Malaysia. The MARRS restoration site is now being carefully monitored, in cooperation with the local community with the aim of expanding restoration across Malaysian coral reefs in the future.
