Subsequent to the site’s inclusion in the 2000 World Monuments Watch, WMF secured funding from American Express to complete a conservation study to understand technical conditions at the site, as well as to promote sustainable tourism solutions to allow continuing public enjoyment of the site and develop strategies for improving protection of the historic and natural features of the complex. Funds were also applied to the construction of a 46.5 meter fence around the temple and a 110 meter fence around the entire Tanah Lot site.
Spatial boundaries of the site were redefined and returned to traditional Balinese standards, which included viewing the sacred building unit as the main or inner zone, the buildings for preparing and holding religious activities as the middle zone, and the area for evening activities, including economic activities, as the limited development, or low zone. The latter zone was structured to support and receive tourists.
