Welcome to the CTC Academy!
Why are coastal and marine environments important, and what role do they play in our lives? How do we keep our oceans and our planet healthy? What are the dangers facing our oceans, and what can be done to safeguard them? What are marine protected areas and why do they matter? What can we do?
These are just a few of the questions answered by the CTC Academy’s 26 learning modules on marine science, MPA principles, planning and management, sustainable fisheries, and sustainable tourism. Download our course syllabus here.
We have a wide range of courses available to support current and future guardians of the seas, and people working on the frontlines of conservation efforts in the Coral Triangle. Our courses are classroom-based, with a strong field training element, and we offer courses throughout the Coral Triangle region. Field training is held at learning sites, such as the Nusa Penida Marine Protected Area, located 30 minutes by boat from Bali. Alumni of our courses can also join our learning networks, connecting you to other practitioners working throughout the Coral Triangle, and the world.
