This MPA Fundamentals training is designed to

meet the needs of new networks of MPAs that
in the early stages of management framework
development to support CTMPAS. Through
participatory and learning by doing activities, and
a combination of in-class and field activities, a
solid foundation in MPA science and management
knowledge and a broader understanding and
context for the range of responsibilities for
managing MPAs and MPA networks were delivered.
The training is one of 3 regional training developed
under CTC - NOAA parternship. The other two
curricula are MPA Management Planning and
Reef to Ridge that are currently in the process of
finalization for pilot respectively in the Solomon
Islands and Indonesia.
As part of the training a field trip was conducted at
the Cristo Rei Protected Area close to Dili so that
participants could learn from the local community
in Dolok Oan village, learn about outreach and
awareness activities conducted by the MPA
management authority, and to observe the physical
characteristics of Fatukama beach. The field trip
enabled the participants to exercise their learning
in the field.

Strengthening Partners Capacity in Papua New Guinea - February 5, 2015

The general feedback from participants was

positive. There were two main areas that
received strong feedback both positive and
negative: content and delivery time. Exercise
was conducted for each of the topics that
were delivered to help participants grasp the
concepts presented to them.
The main interest was drawn when introducing
the basics of GIS and related Marxan tool.
Although Marxan was not discussed in detail,
the topic excited all of the participants and they
wanted to know more about how GIS works and
how they can learn this and make it work in the
current projects or programs they are involved
in. Questions were frequently asked during the
presentation and the feedback at the end of
the presentation truly indicated that they were
keen to have more exposure to GIS and available
tools.

MPA Development in Indonesia

In 2014, 89 areas have been established

under MMAF and Local Governments
(District and Provincial).

MPAs managed by Local Governments

to date cover an area of 5.5 million
hectares and growing.

In total approximately 16 million

hectares have been designated as MPAs
overall.

Indonesia is pursuing to accomplish 20

million hectares of MPAs by 2020. Currently
standing with 16 million hectares of MPAs,
Indonesia is at 80% towards accomplishing
its goal. To achieve this, Indonesia needs
at least 2.400 MPA managers meeting the
standard of special working competency at
MMAF professional standard.

In 2014 with support from Packard Foundation,

CTC conducted training on Introduction to
Marine Spatial Planning and MPA Design in
Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea. Feedback
from training evaluation showed the need to
undertake a follow up training in the form of a
small group workshop to deepen understanding
and to give more time to exercise with the tools.
One of the best options for reaching wider target
audience in Papua New Guinea is by working
through local partner such as Papua New
Guinea Centre for Locally Managed Area (PNGCLMA) and and PNG Learning and Training
Network (PNG LTN).

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 marineprotected 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 five programs within CTC, they are Training and
Learning, Learning Sites, Learning Network, PublicPrivate 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.

Robert Delfs

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 1700 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 field of marine conservation and sustainable
fisheries resources conservation.
