CTC in collaboration with the Nusa Penida MPA management
unit as well as the Lembongan Marine Association (LMA)
conducted reef health monitoring training in Nusa Penida.
The participants consisted of 2 members of Nusa Penida
MPA management unit, 3 local community representatives
and 5 from local dive operators. The participants were
trained on coral reef and sh monitoring techniques using
Point Intercept Transect (PIT) and Underwater Visual Census
(UVS) protocols. This training was part of capacity building for
the Nusa Penida MPA management unit and the participants
ultimately became a support group for the management unit
on biophysical monitoring of corals and sh.
Following the Reef Health Monitoring Training for Nusa
Penida MPA Management Unit stakeholders, training
participants continued with coral reef and sh data
collection. Twelve sites are monitored annually in Nusa
Penida at 3 and 10 meter depth. The team was divided
into two groups of of 3 divers (3- and 10-meter dives)
where each consists of roll master, coral surveyor and
sh surveyor. Result of the monitoring shows stability
in the level of coral coverage, on par with the level that

THE CORAL TRIANGLE CENTER
The Coral Triangle Center (CTC) is a foundation based
in Indonesia that trains marine resource managers and
educates all groups that interact with coastlines and reefs
within the Coral Triangle. The CTC provides training and
learning programs; supports marine-protected areas;
coordinates a learning network for MPA practitioners;
connects the public and private sector on coastal issues; and
is developing a center of excellence in marine conservation
in Bali focused on the Coral Triangle.
CTC has a Board of Trustees consisting of 12 members
and a Board of Advisers with representatives from each
CT6 country and experts form Australia, USA and UK.
CTC envisions healthy seas that enrich nature and people
with mission is to inspire and train generations to care for
coastal and marine ecosystems. There are ve programs
within CTC, they are Training and Learning, Learning
Sites, Learning Network, Public-Private Partnership, and
Regional Hub. CTC is developing a portfolio of MPA learning
sites throughout the Coral Triangle with Nusa Penida MPA
and the Banda Islands as its learnings sites in Indonesia.
Established in 2000, CTC was developed as the regional
training arm of The Nature Conservancy. Given the huge
growth in demand and need to build capacity at much larger
national and regional scales, TNC recognized that regional
training and learning services could be best provided over
the long term by an autonomous, locally based organization.
CTC transitioned from TNC into a fully independent
organization in 2011.
To date, CTC has trained more than 1000 professionals
and practitioners. The Coral Triangle Center (CTC) and
the Indonesian Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries
(MMAF) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in
2012 to build local leadership and capacity in the eld of
marine conservation and sustainable sheries resources
conservation. Recently, at SOM9, CTC has been unanimously
endorsed by the CT delegates to become a development
partner to CTI-CFF. CTC works with communities, national
and local governments, international and local universities,
NGOs, networks and corporate partners to implement its
programs funded by public and private donors.
This is a quarterly report produced by
the Coral Triangle Center (CTC) in Bali.
