Skills Training

As the health of coral reef ecosystem continues to be threatened by environmental and anthropogenic impacts, the need for reef enhancement as a means for restoring and rehabilitating coral reefs is gaining public awareness. A popular approach toward habitat enhancement is the introduction of underwater man-made structures that act as natural reefs to form habitats for marine life.

BRI provides the Build A Reef (BAR) Training for volunteers and local communities to gain knowledge and skills on reef rehabilitation technique using simple, low cost, and readily available materials. The training will cover BAR module construction and deployment techniques, as well as, strategic planning, project implementation and management.

In addition to BAR Training, BARI also conducts Participatory Coastal Resource Assessment (PCRA) Training for community workers or resource users in their coastal resource assessment, planning and monitoring activities.
