The mission o The Nature Conservancy is to preserve the plants, animals and natural communities thatrepresent the diversity o lie on Earth by protecting the lands and waters they need to survive. The Conservancy

launched the Global Marine Initiative in 2002 to protect and restore the most resilient examples o oceanand coastal ecosystems in ways that beneft marine lie, local communities and economies. The Conservancyoperates over 100 marine conservation projects in more than 21 countries and 22 US states; they work withpartners across seascapes and landscapes through transormative strategies and integrated planning andaction. The ocus is on: (1) Setting priorities or marine conservation using ecoregional assessments andtools or ecosystem based management; (2) Ensuring coral ree survival by creating resilient networks o 

marine protected areas; (3) Restoring and conserving coastal habitats by utilizing innovative new methods;(4) Building support or marine conservation through strategic partnerships and working to shape global and national policies. Marine conservation in The Nature Conservancy builds upon the organization’s corestrengths: achieving demonstrable results; working with a wide range o partners, including non-traditional 

partners; science-based, robust conservation planning methodologies; our experience with transactions; and,perhaps most importantly, our ability and commitment to back up our strategies with human, fnancial andpolitical capital.

Protect fsh stocks by closing all known spawning•

Conservation o biodiversity, especially critical habitats o •

provision o control sites or research and ecological ›benchmarks against which to measure human-inducedchange;

potential as nodes in monitoring networks;›

UNESCO Man and Biosphere Programme 1986 – designates KNP asa UNESCO Man and Biosphere Reserve with three unctions: conser-vation; sustainable economic development; and provision o sitesand acilities to support research, education and training.

World Heritage Convention 1986 – designates KNP as a WorldHeritage Site under criteria:

(vii) contains superlative natural phenomena and areas o aes-thetic importance due to outstanding universal value;

(x) contains important habitats or conservation, includingthose o threatened species.

Convention on Biological Diversity 1992 – KNP contributes tocommitments made by Indonesia, as a Party to the Convention onBiological Diversity (CBD) to:

develop a national biodiversity strategy;•

to establish systems o protected areas to conserve biodiver-•

sity; and

to promote environmentally sound and sustainable develop-•

ment in areas adjacent to protected areas.

  Jakarta Mandate on Marine and Coastal Diversity 1995 - em-phasised the importance o Marine and Coastal Protected Areas innational biodiversity strategies.

Coral rees and associated habitats provide a suite o ecosystemservices alling within our broad categories:

Provisioning services – e.g. fsheries, mariculture;•

Regulating services – e.g. protection o beaches and coastlines•

Cultural services – e.g. tourism, recreation and traditional •

Natural disturbances to coral rees include:

disease,•

temperature extremes,•

pest outbreaks including Crown-o-Thorns Starfsh,•

cyclones,•

seismic events including earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanoes•

Anthropogenic disturbances to coral rees include:

Pollution• , including mine runo and sewage discharge, poi-sons ree communities, pollutes ree waters and promotes algal growth (Bjork et al 1994; Brown 1997; Richmond 1994);

Overfshing • results in shits in fsh size, abundance and speciescomposition o ree communities. The removal o key herbivore

and predator species may cause cascading eects in the trophicweb, bringing large scale changes to ecosystems and the servic-es they provide (Bohnsack 1993; Dulvy et al 2004; Jennings &

Polunin 1996; Pennisi; Pinnegar et al 2002; Roberts 1995).

Destructive fshing • practices, including bomb and cyanide fsh-ing, muroami and trawling, are non-selective, remove largenumbers o undersized target species and non-target species

and cause habitat damage. Cyanide fshing to support the liveood fsh trade has led to widespread reductions in groupers, Na-poleon wrasse and other species (Johannes & Riepen 1995).

Climate change• will increase background disturbances (throughe.g. elevated sea surace temperatures, ocean acidifcation andincreased storm requency and intensity) reducing resilience toother human disturbances (Bryant et al 1998).

Coastal development • , including reclamation and construction,alters coastal dynamics, removes important nursery grounds, andincreases terrestrial run-o and pollution (Wilkinson 2004).

Unregulated tourism• can impact on coral rees through tram-pling by swimmers and divers, anchor damage, and sewage dis-charge rom hotels (Global Environment Facility 1996).
