Budiono Senen

I am Budiono Senen, working at Banda Naira University in the field of Aquatic Resource Management. I am also advisor of the Barracuda Diving Club, a student dive club. I am collaborating with Luminocean since its establishment in Banda. Since 2006, I am working with the Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI) and colleagues from Hongkong University on surveying the Napoleon wrasse (Chellinus undulatus) population at the Banda Islands. Since 2017, I am working together with Ruhr-University Bochum, Germany, on understanding schooling behavior of the rare flashlight fish (Anomalops katoptron). Besides teaching I also conduct research with students and carry out community service activities such as mangrove planting, coral transplantation, cleaning coral reef ecosystems with Luminocean, Banda Sea TWP Satker, PSDKP. I joined the Lestari Indonesia foundation (LINI) since 2015 until now to oversee environmentally friendly tuna fishing activities.
