About
The Coral Triangle Center (CTC) is a foundation based in Indonesia that trains marine resources managers and educates all groups that interact with coastlines and reefs within the Coral Triangle. The applied training and learning programs are adaptive, innovative, and customized for different stakeholders to abate threats, address constraints and promote sustainable practices. The Coral Triangle Center provides training in marine natural resources management, supports marine protected areas, coordinates a learning network of Marine Protected Area practitioners, connects the public and private sector on coastal issues, and is developing a learning center of excellence in tropical marine conservation. Check our website at www.coraltrianglecenter.org.
Our field learning sites provide an ideal setting for implementing cutting-edge conservation management on the ground. We support our partner MPA sites to become exemplar models of sustainable management where wider practitioners from across the region can trial the lessons they have learned, observe, and gain field experiences necessary for becoming excellent guardians of our seas.
To date, we are working with two learning sites in Indonesia (Nusa Penida MPA and the Banda Islands MPA network). We are supporting government partners, community groups, and local organizations at these sites to design, develop and establish successful MPAs that showcase effective management and become on-ground training platforms for wider practitioners and stakeholders from across the region.
