Reef Check Foundation Indonesia (RCFI) had run a reef resilience assessment in early 2009. An increase temperature latter in 2009 reported by fisherman and dive centres, as well as the mass bleaching in the following year, has triggered RCFI to do a coral bleaching monitoring. This was followed by post bleaching assessment conducted in early 2011 23 sites from northwest to northeast Bali and 5 sites in Lombok were surveyed and found that the 2010 bleaching was more severe than 2009 bleaching period. The nearest NOAA Coral Reef Watch Virtual Station in West Bali, confirmed that DHW record up to 6.5 SST anomalies up to 1.34. This resulted to average 12% bleaching and <5 % mortality in shallow reef; 13% bleaching and 2% mortality in deep reef. › Baca Selengkapnya

Meskipun ada beberapa terumbu yang mati, namun dengan kemampuan rekrutmen karang baru, koloni koloni karang yang mati ini segera diganti oleh karang-karang baru. Hal lain yang mendukung ialah yang disebut sebagai regrowth yaitu pertumbuhan kembali bagian yang hidup dari koloni yang mati sebagian. Regrowth ini diperkirakan menjadi salah satu kartu truf bagi masa depan pengelolaan terumbu karang di masa depan. › Baca Selengkapnya
