Saving Oceans

About us

Coral Triangle Center (CTC) is a foundation based in Indonesia with regional scope and global impact. Since 2010, we have worked with communities, governments, the private sector, and partners to strengthen marine resource management and protect coral reef ecosystems across the Coral Triangle.
We support on-the-ground conservation in Bali, Maluku and in Timor-Leste, and lead learning networks of women leaders, local government executives and marine protected area practitioners in Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, and Timor-Leste.
Our Center for Marine Conservation in Bali serves as a dynamic space for training programs, public outreach, interactive exhibits, and cultural performances β€” engaging action to protect our oceans and the life they sustain.

Our Values

We strive for excellence in teaching, staff integrity, and leadership in tropical resources management. Rooted in the Coral Triangle, we promote local stewardship by valuing traditional knowledge and working closely with communities. Through strong collaboration with governments, NGOs, educators, and the private sector, we drive inclusive solutions. We are results-driven, transparent, and adaptive, committed to delivering measurable impact and trusted, high-quality programs.
