Solutions for Marine and Coastal Resilience in the Coral Triangle

The programme aims to strengthen the resilience of the region’s ecosystems and communities in transboundary seascapes through protection, good governance and effective management of coastal and marine biodiversity. Geographically, the programme focuses on the Sulu-Sulawesi Seascape (Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines), Bismarck Solomon Seascape (Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands), and Lesser Sunda Seascape (Indonesia, Timor-Leste). The programme pursues the following objectives: 1. Promote the protection of biodiversity in transboundary habitats by reducing pressure on ecosystems and mitigating resource use conflicts through appropriate and equitable management and monitoring regimes. 2. Strengthen the social and economic resilience of communities through fair access to and better management of marine resources. 3. Support the development and implementation of regional and international policies aimed at the protection of marine and coastal areas.
