Coral Triangle Boundary (Veron et al, 2009)
Covering 1.6 percent of the planet’s oceanic area and stretching FINANCIAL SUMMARY 2012 22
across the waters of six Southeast Asian nations, the Coral
Triangle is the global epicenter of marine life abundance and
Board MEMBERS 23
diversity. The area is home to half of the world’s coral reefs and
provides habitat for 76 percent of known coral species and 37
percent of known coral reef fish species. Its coastal waters give
rise to the world’s most extensive mangrove forests and the
spawning and juvenile growth areas for the world’s largest tuna
fishery.

These unparalleled marine and coastal living resources provide

profound benefits to more than 100 million people who reside
within the coastal areas of the Coral Triangle countries—
Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Timor-Leste, Papua
New Guinea, and the Solomon Islands—and to many millions
more outside the region. Fish and other marine resources
are a principal source of income, food, livelihoods, and export
revenues in all of the countries of the Coral Triangle.

the board of trustees
George S. Tahija
Over the years I have embarked on a journey
throughout the Indonesian seas and dived throughout
the wider region, becoming a firsthand witness to the
beauty and benefits that reefs provide to people in the
Coral Triangle and beyond. From the protective coastal
mangrove forests of Kalimantan to the world’s most
diverse reef systems off West Papua, the waters of the
Coral Triangle gives life, sustainability and enrichment
to the millions inhabiting its shores.
As the largest archipelago in the world, Indonesia is
home to a magnitude of coral reef systems whose
diversity is unsurpassed by any other, and holds a
special responsibility to work with other nations
to safeguard these extraordinary ecosystems.
With careful stewardship of these vast, interlinked
environments, it is quintessential that Indonesia should
exemplify and create model archetypes for marine
management that can provide benefit far beyond its
waters.
To accomplish this goal, the Coral Triangle Center
in Bali was founded and everyone involved should
take tremendous pride in its establishment. The
organization has tirelessly devoted itself to honoring
the mission of inspiring and guiding those treasure and
nurture our coastal areas - and I am confident that this

Center will continue to do so for many years to
come. It is an organization that serves to protect
coral reefs, improve the standard of living of
coastal communities, and develop mechanisms
for communities and reefs to sustainably
coexist. The campaign for our cause fills a
great void for regional leadership, providing
resolutions and answers to some of the most
pressing issues of marine conservation today.
When we want to effect
change, we have to invest in
people, inspire leadership,
and ensure effective
knowledge exchange and
enrichment. These priorities
stand at the heart of the CTC’s
mission and values.
George S. Tahija
The CTC Co-founder
Chair, The CTC Board of Trustees
The Coral Triangle region is the epicenter of global
marine biodiversity: a coral refuge of unparalleled
size and ecological significance that directly and
indirectly affects the lives of millions of people.
Yet its status as one of the world’s most complex
and important network of ecosystems lacks in
acknowledgement. It increasingly faces a number of
threats ranging from overfishing, destructive fishing,
uncontrolled development, pollution, and climate
change.
Governments across the region have set targets for
establishing and safeguarding marine protected
areas. Yet, after 20 years of experience in the field,
the fundamental constraints remain, gap in the form
of conservation leaders and informed resources
management practitioners. We need to ensure that
these conservation goals are taken into effect and
sustain change; otherwise all our efforts will be to
no avail.
The Coral Triangle Center’s mission is to enhance
local capacity in regional marine conservation by
providing training, sharing best on-site practices,
establishing learning networks, and building public-
private partnerships.
To aid us in these efforts, we are transforming the
newly independent CTC into a regional hub of marine
conservation expertise and leadership. Our goal is
to translate the science of marine conservation into
practical, tailor-made training programs throughout
the region, aiding governments, communities and
private sector in their efforts to safeguard vulnerable
marine environments.
In overview, 2012 was a significant year – as the CTC’s 2nd
year in operation. Due to a marked increase in training
activities (ref 2011: officiating 6 trainings/ 123 participants;
2012: 19 training/ 511 participants), we received recognition
from the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries in
Indonesia, officiating as a training institute as reflected in
our five-year MoU signed by the Secretary General - with the
CTC awarded the status an as Independent Training Center
of Marine and Fisheries (P2MKP).
The CTC’s implementation of the Nusa Penida program
continues to provide a great learning platform for MPA
training and learning with more than 20 trainings, field
exchanges and field visits combined this year, and is
growing with the addition of a new learning site in the Banda
Islands (Eastern Indonesia). The CTC conducted training in
Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Malaysia
and the Philippines. The Center has now an advisory board
of 14 members with representatives from all six countries
and international experts on marine conservation, capacity
building and protected areas and biodiversity.
These are defining decades to come.
With its partners, the CTC hopes to
make a difference that stands the test
of time by connecting, inspiring, and
training generations to care for their
remarkable seas.

Regional Hub
The Coral Triangle Center is a foundation based in Indonesia that trains marine
resource managers and educates all groups that interact with coastlines and reefs
within the Coral Triangle. Developed as the regional training arm of The Nature
Conservancy, the CTC became an independent organization in 2011 and has conducted
more than 125 training sessions, educating more than 2,500, in its 12 years of
service. The CTC continues to develop a unique and integrated learning program by doing
based on the needs of professionals and stakeholders to manage marine and coastal
resources.
The CTC is comprised of five programs:
1. Training and Learning (T & L) encompasses the organization’s direct training activities at
our center and in the field, as well as efforts to develop a school of MPA management with
the Indonesian Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (MMAF). The T & L program is the
CTC’s clear priority.
2. Learning Sites (LS) are the CTC’s direct management efforts at MPA sites within the Coral
Triangle, and support for areas not directly overseen. LS supports T & L efforts by enabling
students to see successful conservation efforts, as well as challenges, firsthand.
3. Learning Networks (LN) dedicated to encouraging and facilitating communication between
organizations and individuals operating within the Coral Triangle to “create, apply, test,
document, and share solutions to common challenges.”
4. Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) are the CTC’s efforts to build relationships with different
stakeholders—governmental, non-governmental, commercial, financial, academic, local—
to collectively deliver training, fundraise, and develop practices that positively impact the
marine environment.
5. Regional Center (The Hub) is a planned physical center of excellence in marine conservation
that will be the fulcrum for all the CTC programs—improving the organization’s ability to
train stakeholders, promote research and education, and raise general awareness. It will
open in 2015. The interaction between programs is depicted below. Training and Learning,

Developing Local and Regional Capacity to Care for Our Marine Resources
Local capacity built in a
targeted and holistic way
to effectively manage at
least 20% of the marine
environment set aside for
MPAs in the Coral Triangle.
CONTEXT
Governments across the Coral Triangle
region through the Coral Triangle
Initiative for Coral Reefs, Fisheries
and Food Security (CTI-CFF) have
set targets for establishing and
safeguarding marine protected area
(MPAs), but a lack of local capacity –
in the form of conservation leaders
and informed resources management
practitioners – is a major constraint to
ensuring that these conservation goals
are met.
PURPOSE
Training and Learning (T&L) program
develops and delivers training for
tropical marine resource management
stakeholders in the Coral Triangle. Its
efforts include training at the Center
in Bali and in the field. The success of
the program is measured by the quality
of its training programs (in terms of
content and delivery), the number of
people trained and how the training is
used in the planning and management
of MPAs throughout the region.
The CTC training and learning strategy
has 5 components including: site-
based trainings, training for MPA
managers and training of trainers
(TOT), on-line training, post-training
and institutional support.

NUSA PENIDA
The Coral Triangle Center recognizes
the importance of developing Marine
Protected Areas (MPAs) as sites
that serve as living laboratories to
observe, learn and study from the
field experiences relating to marine
conservation, and MPA establishment
and resource management. The CTC
has incorporated this into its main
strategies and formulated the following
objectives:
• To deepen our understanding and
practice concerning marine resources
management by collaborating directly
on a small number of sites - field
testing solutions to pressing regional
problems;
• To document effective management
practices and develop living
laboratories for learning and
training programs in Coral Triangle
demonstration sites to leverage
practical ideas region wide.
In 2012, the CTC started a new learning
site program in the Banda Islands.
Learning sites are envisioned as onsite
training platforms for managers and
practitioners, government officials,
community groups, scientists, and
NGOs, and for learning exchanges
among practitioners and between
sites in the Coral Triangle and
beyond. By connecting learning sites
within countries and across the
region, stakeholders can learn from
a spectrum of MPAs with different
ecological, economic, social and
geopolitical configurations.

The 5 Strategies
As part of its learning portfolio, the
CTC engages in the facilitation of Nusa
Penida MPA as a learning site, and in
other Marine Protected Areas such
as the Banda Islands, Savu Sea and
Wakatobi. They are selected because
of differences in size, remoteness,
resource use, management structures
and tenure systems. They are all
priority areas for the Government of
Indonesia.
In 2012, the CTC conducted a marine
resource-use monitoring program in
Nusa Penida and helped complete the
20-year management plan. A marine
tourism code of conduct for wacthing
manta rays and mola mola was
developed and approved. Nusa Penida
also served as a platform for learning
exchanges. The CTC organized one-day
excursions to Nusa Penida’s learning
site for MPA REX (US-CTI support
program), RARE, Packard, Family
Business Network (FBN), Malaysian
Government (2x), USAID-IMPAG, TNC,
WWF and Stanford MBA students. A

PROTECTED AREAS FOR THE BANDA
ISLANDS
STRENGTHENING PARTICIPATION AND
LOCAL CAPACITY
The CTC’s aim is to facilitate the
design of a resilient MPA network
for the Banda Islands to maximize
the ecological, social and economic
benefits of the network by informing,
engaging and strengthening the
capacity of stakeholders at all levels
through a series of consultations
with local communities, NGO’s and
the national, provincial and local
authorities, trainings and surveys to
support the Banda MPA zoning plan
and network design.
RAPID MARINE ASSESSMENT
This archipelago of 11 small islands
has some of the most spectacular
and resilient reefs in the world. One
of the reasons for this is that they
are in the heart of the Coral Triangle
- the geographic epicentre of marine
diversity. This group of small volcanic
islands rises out of very deep water
(four to six kilometres deep) and is
spread across more than 40km of
ocean. (map) The CTC conducted a
rapid marine assessment on social
and ecological information required
to design a resilient network of
MPAs for the area. The survey
team included a multidisciplinary
group of predominately Indonesian
scientists, government officials and
local stakeholders. The biophysical
and socio-economic team included
experts and staff from 11 organizations
(Ministry of Marine Affair and Fisheries,
Central Maluku District, National
Institute of Science (LIPI), Pattimura
University, Police, Navy, Fisheries
College Hatta-Syahrir, Yayasan
Warisan Budaya Banda Naira, Marine
Conservation – Southeast Asia, The
Nature Conservancy and the Coral
Triangle Center).
CONSERVATION VALUE
With very little runoff of sediments
and nutrients from land, unlike other
areas of Indonesia, Banda Islands
experience very few threats. While
some of the reef fish stocks showed
signs of overexploitation, the low
human population density and fishery
on pelagic yellowfin tuna provide
an excellent opportunity for coral
reef conservation. Survey findings
concluded:
• Coral reef condition is generally good
to excellent although coral mining
does exist and unlike other areas of
Indonesia (and the world), coral here
remains unbleached.
• Coral reef resilience seems high, as
demonstrated by the rapid recovery of
many key reef indicators after reefs
were buried by a lava flow.
• Fish communities are also in good
condition because fishing pressure
on the reefs is low. Two other notable
features are relatively high numbers
of the endangered Napoleon Wrasse
species and several potential reef-
fish spawning-aggregation sites for
this and other threatened species.
• 20,000 residents of the Banda Islands
live in 12 villages, where they live
a subsistence lifestyle based on
fishing. While some work in nutmeg
plantation, others are involved in the
commercial fishery mainly for pelagic
yellowfin tuna.
• The traditional resource management
practice of using temporary no-take
zones, sasi, is rarely practiced, but
it is still used on Hatta Island to
replenish populations of trochus and
sea cucumbers.
• Traditional ceremonies are conducted
on all islands at certain times of the
year to bless harvests from the sea.
HISTORY
During the 16th and 17th
centuries, the Banda Islands
played a critical role in world
trade. As the world’s only source
of nutmeg and mace spices the
Banda Islands were highly valued
and contested by the European
and Indian markets. Later, the
British traded the small island of
Run for Manhattan Island giving
the Dutch full control of the
Banda Islands during mid-17th
Century. (ref images: nutmeg and

The CTC organized 2 CTI MPA learning network activities during the CTI MPA
Regional Exchange on the Design of a MPA Network for the Coral Triangle.
45 participants from the CT countries and partners joined a field trip to Nusa
Penida that has proven to be an excellent platform for training and learning.
Emphasis was given on the design of the zoning plan and the engagement of local
government and communities in the planning and management of Nusa Penida
MPA. Round table discussions with the Exchange participants were organized at
the CTC to further discuss specific activities for the learning network.

Given the huge growth in demand
and need to build in-region capacity
at much larger national and regional
level scales, the MPA Learning
Network is being formed to facilitate
and accelerate learning by providing a
mechanism for CT6 MPA stakeholders
to coordinate with each other, share
experiences and enhance each other’s
efforts in managing their individual
MPAs, and MPAs within and between
countries that will be scaled up and
linked into a Coral Triangle MPA
System (CTMPAS). The MPA Learning
Network objectives are:
• To accelerate sharing and application
of best practices in managing MPAs
to site managers across the CT6;
• To strengthen MPA networks and
leaders across the CT6 enabling them
to apply best practices in the design
and operation of the CT MPA System;
• To catalyze/ accelerate expansion
of numbers and capacity of MPA
managers, existing networks,
scientists, policy makers, local
communities, and practitioners
in developing and applying best
practices.
The Coral Triangle Initiative on Coral Reefs, Fisheries
and Food Security (CFF)
The marine and coastal resources of the Coral Triangle
region are under significant and increasing threat. The
Coral Triangle sits at a crossroads of rapidly expanding
populations, economic growth, and international
trade. These pressures are degrading ecosystems and
reducing the region’s ability to ensure food security for
the long term.
In response, local communities, national governments,
and a regional initiative are endeavoring to safeguard
our exceptional marine and coastal heritage. The most
ambitious example to date of a regional awakening to
the degradation of our seas has been the multinational
Coral Triangle Initiative (CTI) on Coral Reefs, Fisheries,
and Food Security. The CTI, launched in 2009 at the World
Ocean Conference in Sulawesi, Indonesia, is an agreement
among the six Coral Triangle countries to safeguard the
region’s marine and coastal biological resources.
A 10-year regional Plan of Action lays out steps to address
growing threats to the region’s coral reefs, fisheries,
mangroves, threatened species, and other marine and
coastal living resources. Regional leaders recognize
that implementation of this essential and ambitious
commitment is dependent upon informed and committed
politicians, professionally trained park managers, and
the ongoing engagement of community, nonprofit, and
corporate leaders. National action plans are being created
to establish a resilient network of marine protected areas
(MPAs) across each of the Coral Triangle countries.

NGO’S PARTNERSHIPS
1. MARINE PROTECTED AREAS
GOVERNMANCE (MPAG)
The Marine Protected Areas
Governance Program (MPAG)
provides support to the Ministry
of Marine Affairs and Fisheries
(MMAF) and local governments
to achieve the Government of
Indonesia’s (GOI) commitment to
designate and effectively manage
marine protected areas (MPAs)
spanning 20 million hectares (ha)
by 2020. MPAG continues and builds
upon the successful approach and
work streams initiated under the
Indonesian component of the USAID
Coral Triangle Support Partnership
(CTSP-I). The CTC is one of the five
NGO partners in this consortium and
receives USAID funding via WWF-
US for three years to support Nusa
Penida MPA and implement MPA
training programs starting in 2012.
2. PAPUA NEW GUINEA CENTRE FOR
LOCALLY MANAGED AREAS (PNG-
CLMA)
PNGCLMA and the CTC join efforts
together to support the recently
established PNG Learning and
Training Network (LTN) with a
training specialist who will help
identify, facilitate, customize and
deliver practical training courses
with partners in PNG, and support
learning activities across the Coral
Triangle.
3. TNC TECHNOLOGY LEARNING
CENTER (TNC TLC)
TNC TLC has committed to
provide experts in online course
development to the CTC in
establishing an online Coral
Triangle training platform on www.
conservationtraining.org, a website
and training porta managed by The
Nature Conservancy. The first CTC
on-line training course that will
be drafted and uploaded will be
“Principles on MPA Management”.
4. TRAINING OF TRAINERS IN PAPUA
NEW GUINEA AND SOLOMON
ISLANDS
A project has been developed
to address training gaps in the
Solomon Islands and PNG. The team
comprises: the Australian Tropical
Marine Alliance, the Coral Triangle
Center and the Nature Conservancy,
as is being funded by the Australian
Government. The project team is
working with country partners to
initiate and deliver new, tailored
and purpose-driven tropical marine
resource management training to
local trainers.
Four training packages will be
developed and finalized based upon
local input as part of the project’s
scoping phase, to ensure alignment
with priority local needs. These
training courses will be designed to
be delivered within local institutions,
again, being informed by the scoping
phase.
The scoping study was conducted
jointly by the CTC and the CTI
Alliance during April and May 2012
in both SI and PNG. From this
assessment, the following four topic
areas were determined to be priority
training gaps for both countries and
will be addressed in this project:
• Ecosystem-approach to fisheries
management.
• Community-based marine
resource management.
• Management effectiveness
• Integrated ecosystem-based
management.

/ / S T R AT E G Y 5 : R E G I O N A L H U B

Inspiring Regional Stakeholders to Conserve Marine Resources

collaboration
Impact: An exceptional
center for training and
outreach efforts focused
on tropical marine
conservation. Linked to
learning sites and learning
networks, it serves as
a hub for events and
partnerships in support of
the conservation of coastal
and marine resources
throughout the CT region.

We are building our organization as

well as our physical center in Bali, to
serve as an inspirational regional hub
and knowledge center of excellence
for training programs and outreach
activities on the marine resources of
the Coral Triangle.
CORE
CTC REGIONAL In 2012, the CTC has successfully
HUB
(MUST HAVE) strengthened its core business with
the development of a CTC business
plan that puts training and learning
(SHOULD HAVE) central in all that the CTC does.
The CTC organized a workshop with
experts, Scief Houben and Will Taylor,
(NICE TO HAVE)
to further sharpen the concept of the
hub and the plan for the purchase of
the land. We developed a “moodboard”
for the hub and several land options
are being explored. The CTC, with the
help of a TNC fellow, Jocelyn Ellis
developed a framework for the design
of the CTCs membership program.
The CTC developed more marketing
and outreach materials, including the
CTCs first annual report, web-site
and a variety of info sheets and short
program video’s. We secured more
funding from USAID, MAC Foundation
and Packard. The CTC organized a
Coral Triangle Day at our facilities for
schoolchildren to learn more about
marine conservation. The CTC has now
15 staff, 12 members in the fiduciary
board, 12 advisory board members in
the Coral Triangle and 3 international
experts (Australia, US and UK). Regular
staff meetings and four board meetings
were held in 2012.
In 2013, the CTC plans to purchase
the land to develop CTC’s facilities
and recruit a full-time regional hub
manager to oversee the development
and operations. More staff will be
recruited for communications to launch
the membership program, strengthen
the CTC’s brand and maximize the
CTC’s social media tools. A CTC video
will be produced for fundraising and
outreach purposes.

SCALING UP OF THE PROGRAMS
In 2013, the focus will be to scale up
training and learning activities with local
and international partners in the Coral
Triangle region. The CTC will increase
its training activities in the Sunda Banda
seascapes to strengthen a MPA network
in the Inner Banda Arc and strengthen
the local capacity of stakeholders in
existing and new MPAs. Nusa Penida and
Banda Islands will be further supported
in developing MPA effective management
and long term financing. Both sites will
continue to be further developed as
learning sites. Work plans will be signed
with MMAF Directorate Generals or
Agencies of Human Resources (BPSDM)
20 CTC ANNUAL REPORT 2013
The 5 Strategies
and Conservation, Coast and Small
Islands (KP3K). Four more training
modules with be certified including:
resource use monitoring, perception
monitoring, sustainable financing and
scientific diving and introduction to
marine life.
In Papua New Guinea and the Solomon
Islands, the CTC will continue with
the development of Marine Area
Management Effectiveness (MAME)
and Community-Based Coastal
Resources Management (CBCRM)
curricula, delivery of training of
trainers and post-training activities. In
Malaysia, the CTC will implement more
training on perception monitoring,
facilitation techniques and resource
use monitoring on request of the
Department of Marine Parks. An MOU
will be signed with the Ministry of
Agriculture and Fisheries of Timor-
Leste to support the training and
capacity building of government
officials and stakeholders in MPA
planning and management. A follow up
is planned to customize and conduct
the CTI executive course held in Manila
last year for mayors and governors
in the other CT6 countries. A scoping
study/training needs assessment
will be done to assess how Locally
Managed Marine Areas (LMMAs)
can be better connected to larger
spatial planning processes especially
in Indonesia, Melanesia and Fiji. A
regional protocol for learning sites will
be developed and more learning sites
identified.
With the addition of a dedicated
learning network manager, the
CTI MPA learning network will be
operationalized with services on-line
(library, expert directory, dialogues,
calendar , among other items) and
learning network activities will be
linked to the CT MPA system and
MPA management effectiveness
frameworks, tools and training. The
first on-line training module on basic
MPA principles will be available. The
up-scaling of the CTCs program is
possible through a number of strategic
partnerships with universities in
Indonesia including Hasanuddin and
Diponegoro, international NGOs such
as TNC and WWF and partners such
as the CTI Alliance and NOAA. CTC will
support regional events such as the CTI
Regional Business Forum to encourage
dialogues and cooperation between
the public and private sector towards
reducing threats in the Coral Triangle
region.
The CTC continues to focus on its
institutional development of the CTC
with recruitment of key new technical
and supporting staff, more investment
in training of staff and engagement of
the advisory board. Special attention
will be given to the development
of the CTC capacity in science and
communications, and corporate
partnerships that will support all
programs. The CTC will further set up
revenue-generating mechanisms such
as the launch of a CTC membership
program and the development of its
own facility with public functions. The
aim is to purchase land in 2013 and
complete the educational program
design for the hub as well as the
architectural design for a one-of-
a-kind learning facility that would
incorporate green, iconic and cultural
elements.
