Coral Triangle
Marine biological resources are at risk, threatened by over-fishing and other destructive practices; pollution; and climate change. The world’s richest marine region in the Western Pacific Ocean, the Coral Triangle, which spans 5.7 million square kilometers, contain 76 percent of all known coral species even if it only covers two percent of the world’s ocean, need protection. A coordinated and sustained global action among the Coral Triangle Region is necessary to fire up world attention on the need to ease the impact of climate change on the country’s marine and coastal ecosystems. A closer surveillance using closed circuit television systems showing species of reef-building corals is awe-inspiring leading to this new initiative addressing threats and ensure long-term benefits from marine biological resources of each region.
