About This Event

The Coral Triangle is the most diverse and biologically complex marine ecosystem on the planet. It spans

across Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, Solomon Islands, and Timor-Leste. The

Coral Triangle is home to some of the world’s most diverse and beautiful coral reefs and provides habitat

for more than 250 species of fish. However, many of the marine animals in the Coral Triangle are

threatened by human activities that interventions are needed to maintain the balance of the Coral

Triangle’s ecosystems so that they can continue the services they provide. Collective action from all sectors

is needed to protect the Coral Triangle’s marine ecosystems. While these challenges may seem daunting,

many individuals have endeavored to develop and implement solutions to address the issues faced by our

seas.

The CTI-CFF Regional Secretariat in collaboration with the Coral Triangle Center (CTC) and The Nature

Conservancy, aims to shine the spotlight on innovations and actions being undertaken by women leaders

across the Coral Triangle in sustaining marine resources through a series of two online regional exchanges

that highlight successful women-led initiatives in sustainable marine resource management and ocean

protection specifically focusing on biodiversity protection, climate action, and marine protected area

management linked to the global goal to protect 30% of the world’s oceans by 2030.
