Regional State of the Coral Triangle - Coral Triangle Marine Resources: Their Status, Economies, and Management
Asian Development Bank | June 2014
Abstract
The Regional State of the Coral Triangle summarizes the status of marine resources in the Coral Triangle. The first report of its type, it provides baseline data against which sustainable development can be measured. The countries that make up this ecologically diverse area— Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, and Timor-Leste— have committed to maintain the ecological integrity of coral reefs and the marine species that inhabit them, and improve the affordability, availability, quality, and safety of food they provide. This report describes their plan for achieving these objectives, which also requires addressing population growth, the demand for fish, and the pace of coastal development in the Coral Triangle
