The present status of coral reef in Indonesia required great concern. Good management of Indonesian coral reefs will be needed to keep the ecosystem from damage. Information about Indonesian coral reef management tends to be separated, collected in different scales with different parameters, stored at different locations and difficult to access. The support of information technology gives an alternative solution to reduce those problems. The paper discusses the importance of information technology for coral reef management in Indonesia. INTRODUCTION The coral reef ecosystem is a marine ecosystem that involves different kinds of habitat. Coral reef ecosystems give many advantages for human beings because the ecosystem is the most productive area in the oceans. Economically coral reefs supply fish which are used as foods, and beach sand resources which are used as building materials. It also can be used for pharmaceutical industry and beach protection. The coral reef ecosystem is also a beautiful place in the world and it is very important for tourism. In Indonesia, millions of people depend on the reef for food and livelihood. As much as 90% of animal protein consumed comes from marine resources (IUCN,1993). Tire potential sustainable yield of fish, crustaceans, and molluscs from the coral reef could be some 10%-12%, which is around 9 millions ton of the world fisheries catch. The present status of coral reefs in Indonesia requires a great concern. Only 6,41% of the reef areas are in excellent condition (Suharsono, 1998). Most of the damage coral reef is from human effect. Uncontrolled used of the coral reef ecosystem leads to rapidly increasing damage. Figure 1 shows the human activity that caused faster damage on coral reef. Figure 1. Coral mining activity which could make faster damage on coral reef, (photo by Fadil) Protecting coral reef from their damage, Indonesia government launch Coral Reef Rehabilitation and Management Programs, which is aimed to manage the sustainable utilization of coral reef resources in order to increase the prosperity. The program involved five components i.e locally based management, enforcement and policy coor-dination, human resources develop-ment and institutional strengthening, information and research, and public awareness. Besides, Indonesia has also established marine protected area, including coral reef conservation, sanctuary and marine park. In the national level, Indonesia has established a number of regulation and policy which is related to marine and coastal resources ma- nagement. One important aspect in marine and coastal resources management is coral reef management. It means protection and sustainable utilization of coral reefs and associated ecosystems in the long term, with improving the welfare of coastal communities. This will be needed to reduce destructive effect on coral reef from their damage. Successful coral reef management requires development of cooperation purpose between sectoral institution, private sector and community groups to achieve one objective in utilization of the coral reef. The government institutions play a key role in management since they develop the policies that related in coral reef protection and utilization. Thus, developmg coordinated policies, and also administrative arrangements will be required by government mstitutions. This will be achieved through well- distributed, coral reef information. The present information for coral reef management still tends to be separated, collected in different scales, and with different parameters, stored at different locations and difficult to access. It will need to be integrated to achieve the successful management of coral reef.
