Abstract

Bali's coral reef restoration has been the topmost priority by the Indonesian Government and marine activists to save marine habitat in the long run. The action is necessary to halt severe damage that occurs in aquatic habitat over the years. The most apparent threat that has been faced is coral bleaching. Bali's water's tourism activities have sharply dipped between early to mid-2020, yet it did not stop the coral bleaching phenomenon. The phenomenon is occurring due to water temperature rise. The Government's decision to restrict public activity made the conservation task impossible to be done. Albeit challenges in coral conservation became a daunting task in 2020, pleasant news also came from the central Government. Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan revealed the central Government had compiled a National Economic Recovery (PEN) program for Indonesia Coral Reef Garden (ICRG) Bali. The program is coral reef restoration activities centered in Nusa Dua and several other areas such as Sanur, Serangan, Pandawa Beach, and Buleleng. The coral reef garden will be built using the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries National Economic Recovery fund worth IDR 111.2 billion. The fund will be used to build a 50 hectares coral plantation. Meanwhile, the Governor of Bali, I Wayan Koster, expressed his appreciation toward the program. Koster believed the program would significantly impact the community, especially in supporting economic recovery since the national economic recovery activities will involve more than 11,000 workers.

Abstract

Dalem Balingkang temple depicts distinctive ornaments and interiors that resemble Chinese ambiance. It could be seen from the dominance of red and golden paints, architectural finishing, and Chinese shrine existence inside the main temple. The temple has been acknowledged as representing Balinese and Chinese customs acculturation that has existed for centuries. It was a palace for King Sri Haji Jaya Pangus who according to Purana Dalem Balingkang, reigned Bali in 1053 Isaka/1131 AD. However, due to some circumstances, the castle was left abandoned. Then a King from Pejeng, I Dewa Mayun Sudha, reconstructed the palace ruin into a temple to praise the late King and Queen of Dalem Balingkang. King Sri Haji Jaya Pangus’s marriage with the daughter of Chinese trader Kang Ching We became a significant momentum of the acculturation of two cultures, Balinese and Chinese. As upper-class citizens, their marriage set a new standard in society. Gradually some foreign habits and customs were absorbed in local daily life. It can be seen in various aspects of their life, from ritual, economic, religion, social, architecture, art and culture. Further, Balinese Chinese culture’s acculturation also occurred throughout Bali’s region and existed up to the moment.
