Coral Triangle Center

Coral Triangle Center (CTC) is an Indonesian non-profit organization based in Bali with a regional scope and global impact. It is focused on shaping lasting solutions to protect coral reef ecosystems, ensure sustainable livelihoods, and food security.

CTC does this by providing training on sustainable fisheries and helping ensure that marine protected areas within the Coral Triangle are managed effectively. CTC supports on-the-ground conservation programs through our learning sites in the Nusa Penida Marine Protected Area (MPA), in Bali and the Banda Islands MPA network in Maluku. CTC is supporting the development of new MPAs in Indonesia and Timor-Leste.

CTC is a certified training center of the Government of Indonesia and an official partner of the Coral Triangle Initiative on Coral Reefs, Fisheries and Food Security. CTC leads networks of women leaders, local government executives, and private sector champions, who engage and implement marine resource conservation in Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Solomon Islands, and Timor-Leste.

CTC is expanding its outreach and impact through its Center for Marine Conservation in Bali, a center of excellence for marine conservation training programs, outreach activities, and a venue for artistic and cultural performances. Over the next five years, it is anticipated to influence approximately 1.5 million people to protect and care for the ocean and those who depend on it.
