Dive-site story
Area Perlindungan Laut (APL) is a community-managed marine conservation zone within Kepulauan Seribu National Park, offshore from Pulau Panggang and Pulau Pramuka. Fringing reef slopes, artificial restoration structures, and seagrass beds cover the seabed. Fishing restrictions protect reef fish around the coral heads. Slopes feature branching acropora, porites bommies, and sea anemones with clownfish colonies.
