The Coral Triangle
![Page 3: Solomon Islands: Representing the Coral Triangle](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061522/56816690550346895dda67f8/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Marine area including waters of Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Papua New Guinea, Timor Leste, and Solomon Islands.
Named because greatest amount of corals in this area (600 different coral species in some places)
Called ‘the Nursery of the Seas’ because of incredibly high marine biodiversity (highest in the world)
What is the Coral Triangle?

Coral Triangle Values
Rich and diverse coral reefs 2000 species of reef fish 6 of 7 marine turtle species Whales, sharks, rays, dugongs, dolphins Mangrove, seaweed, seagrass 120 million people Highly productive tuna fishery (fuels a multi-billion dollar
global tuna industry) Nature–based tourism industry valued at over US$12
billion annually

Coral Triangle Threats
Economic development and population growth 1) Unsustainable harvest
(overharvest) of marine resources
2) Destructive fishing practices
3) Problematic land-based activities
4) Coastal development5) Destruction of reef and
mangrove habitat
Climate Change 1) Deterioration of reef health2) Sea level rise3) Shift in species distribution
and abundance

WWF in Solomon Islands
Ghizo Island = current integration site (focus area) for WWF projects
Marine conservation, sustainable livelihoods, capacity building (communities and gov’t)
Mangrove, fish, coral reef, turtles, protected areas, alternate livelihoods
Overall goal = Maintaining food security and livelihoods of Solomon Islanders

Mangrove conservation.
With help from WWF, community of Hunda has built and maintains a mangrove nursery which houses roughly 3000 seedlings. Coastal areas are replanted with seedlings once they are big enough.
