Restoring Marine Life and Livelihoods: The Sustainable Transformation of Ryong

Ryong, a province in Indonesia, is rich in natural beauty but economically poor. The local population relies on a marine park for fishing, which has been damaged by past unsustainable practices like dynamite fishing. Efforts by the community and organizations like WWF are underway to restore marine life through coral restoration and sustainable fishing methods. Mangrove replanting is also a focus to prevent soil erosion and support fish habitats. These initiatives have led to a 4% increase in fish stocks and are attracting tourists. The community is now aware that sustainable development requires the involvement of all societal levels.
