About Coral Triangle Center
Coral Triangle Center ("CTC") is a foundation based in Indonesia with a regional scope and global impact. Established in 2010, CTC works closely with local communities, the private sector, governments, and partners to strengthen marine resource management in the Coral Triangle to protect coral reef ecosystems, ensure sustainable livelihoods, and enhance food security. We support on-the-ground conservation in Bali, Maluku, and Timor-Leste. We lead learning networks of women leaders, local government executives, and marine protected area practitioners in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, and Timor-Leste. We are developing our Center for Marine Conservation in Bali as an integrated learning space for training programs, outreach activities, interactive exhibits, and artistic and cultural performances to influence millions of people to care for our oceans and those who depend on them. We, at CTC continue to work towards our aim to inspire people to care for the oceans. Since our establishment in 2010 until 2024, we have protected 435,000 hectares of critical marine habitat. We have trained more than 7,600 people to support marine protected areas and sustainable fisheries management throughout the Coral Triangle region. More than 20,000 people have visited our Center for Marine Conservation, many of whom have been inspired to take direct action to protect our oceans. In the last three years, we have reached an average of 200,000 people annually to care for our seas via our social media channels. In 2022, we started our monthly children's education program and engaged more than 500 schoolchildren in Indonesia to become future stewards of our planet. One of the priority focus area for CTC is the Banda Sea, a unique and diverse marine ecosystem renowned for its rich marine biodiversity. It hosts a variety of coral, reef fish, and pelagic fish species. The sea also serves as a crucial passage for large marine mammals such as the majestic blue whale. It is home to a range of marine life, including reef sharks, hammerhead sharks, and sea turtles, making it a significant area for marine conservation and sustainable development. The Banda Islands Marine Protected Area (MPA) network situated in Maluku Tengah District, part of Maluku Province was established to protect and manage some of the most diverse and distinct marine ecosystems in the world. The area includes 11 small islands with 18 villages. 85% of the population is engaged in low-income occupations like fishing and farming, while the rest 15% work as government employees or other jobs.
