Conservation International announces the launch of a seascapes guidebook: "The Seascapes Guidebook: How to Select, Develop and Implement Seascapes." As part of both the Coral Triangle Initiative on Coral Reefs, Fisheries, and Food Security (CTI-CFF) and the Seascape Program, this guidebook addresses a need identified by the governments of the six CTI-CFF countries – Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, the Solomon Islands, and Timor-Leste – to provide guidance on implementing the Seascapes concept.

The six countries of the Coral Triangle Initiative on Coral Reefs, Fisheries and Food Security (CTI-CFF) – Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, Solomon Islands, and Timor-Leste – committed to and began implementing a plan to rapidly increase the social and economic resilience of the region’s coastal communities to climate change risks.
