Community-based Conservation Management of Coral Reef Ecosystem in Hari Island
The grants resulted on increased of awareness within the community participating, which could be seen in a community-based coral ecosystem management model integrated to the program. The NGO and CBO worked together to restored the coral reef condition in relation to sustainability, by planting artificial coral reef. This had lead the area with larger production of fishery and increased of income. The community also learned to set-up a system to protect their area, with Kawasan Kelola Laut (Ocean Organizing Zone), which was agreed by the community. The groups formed working groups to also monitor the development of the coral reef independently. The groups also produced data from the assessment and process, such as comprehensive resource map, training modules, documentary, conservation calendar and bajo t-shirt of reef education.

Obstacles of the projects were: the conflicts existing, between investor, land-lords, local government and community, especially about the land sold for tourism purposed. Rumours about the land that will be sold cheaply; threads from local government who agreed with the investor to sell their lands; issues on renting their own land etc triggered fear and suspicious between community. This problem has lead to violence in the village.
There were also suspicion against the NGO who facilitated the community, due to conflicting parties in the villages and miscommunication. The program also collided with other government program almost similar to YARI program, but this was easier to solve.
