The Gili Eco Trust and the Global Coral Reef Alliance with the support of PADI Asia Pacific and Project Aware are proud to announce

THE SIXTH INDONESIAN BIOROCK WORKSHOP
1st - 7th December 2008
Gili Trawangan
Lombok, Indonesia

Workshop Theme:
This training workshop provides the opportunity for dive shops concerned about the deterioration of the world’s coral reefs to start restoration projects using the most effective and exciting methods known, and to educate the diving public about saving coral reefs. The workshop will provide hands-on training in the practice of Biorock® coral reef and fisheries restoration and shore protection, including theory, design, construction, installation, monitoring, maintenance, and repair. The workshop will inaugurate the new PADI Introduction to Biorock Process - Distinctive Specialty, which can only be offered at locations with Biorock projects, and taught by PADI Instructors who are also Biorock Training Course graduates.

Over 200 divers have taken previous Biorock training workshops in Indonesia. With the involvement of PADI and Project Aware the process will now start to expand to other sport diving areas that are in need of restoration, starting new projects and supporting them through diver education and certification.

New Biorock® structures are soon populated by a full range of coral reef organisms, including fish, crabs, clams octopus, lobster, sea urchins and barnacles.
