Welcome to LINI
Our commitment lies in investing in both people and nature to work towards building a resilient and sustainable future for our shared marine environment.
OUR PROGRAMS
LINI’s core programs encompass two vital pillars: Sustainable Ocean and Community Development. These programs are underpinned by a research-driven approach that empowers us to make informed decisions, and they are complemented by extensive educational outreach that fosters understanding and awareness within coastal communities. Synergy between these core programs, creating a dynamic platform for the conservation and sustainable management of marine resources, ultimately ensuring a brighter future for both the environment and the communities that depend on it.
SUSTAINABLE OCEAN
The Sustainable Oceans program at LINI Foundation is a dedicated effort to conserve and protect Indonesia’s marine ecosystems. This program encompasses various initiatives, including Fisheries Improvement Project (FIP), the LINI Aquaculture and Training Center (LATC), Locally-Managed Marine Area (LMMA), the Conservation of Endemic Species, Community-based Reef Restoration, Marine Aquarium Project Indonesia (MAPI).
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
LINI’s Community Development program is dedicated to empowering coastal communities in Indonesia. It focuses on capacity building, collaborative management and the promotion of alternative livelihoods. This program is essential in achieving a harmonious balance between conservation and socio-economic development in coastal areas.
