Community in Ay Island, part of Banda Islands, Maluku, Indonesia, just declared a 18,000 hectares Community Based Marine Protected Area (CB-MPA) under traditional and village level regulation called SASI. It was a huge achievement by Ay Island community as the last time SASI implemented was 4 decades ago.
By declaring this SASI, the one nautical mile of protected area surrounding the island is prohibited for anybody to harvest trochus nilotichus, sea cucumber, sea snail and lobster for a certain period of time until harvest time.
In establishing the Sasi, Ay Island community also incorporate the latest science in their village regulation by designating and integrating core zone, SASI zone, marine tourism zone and fisheries zone based on scientific assessment facilitated by CTC.
The village regulation also puts strict prohibition to catch sea turtles, sharks, napoleon wrasse, dolphin and whales within the MPA.
Ay Island is part of Banda Islands, a small safehaven of marine biodiversity, history, and culture. CTC will continue to assist Ay Island community in implementing their CBMPA, by working together with grass root communities, local leaders, and local governments. In assisting communities, CTC respects local wisdom and tradition, as well as the latest science, to ensure marine biodiversity and achieve a sustainable use of marine and coastal resources; for people and for nature.

The 3rd World Parks Congress in Sydney, 12-19 November 2014
The Coral Triangle Center, sponsored and in partnership with IUCN, participated in the World Parks Congress, held in Sydney, Australia 12-19 November 2014. The event was conducted at the Sydney Olympic Park under the theme ‘Parks, people, planet: inspiring solutions’. The decennial event was organized by IUCN in cooperation with Australian government and partners and attended by about 4,700 participants from all over the world.
There were eight program streams and 4 crosscutting themes designed as the work engine powering the IUCN World Parks Congress 2014. The streams were aimed to anticipate prominent challenges faced by parks and protected areas and what protected can do to help meet these challenges. Addressing these issues are vital to positioning protected areas firmly within the broader goals of economic and community well being throughout the next decade and beyond.
CTC participation was particularly aimed to promote and to expand CTC networking on capacity building program. CTC also supported the preparation of BPSDMKP participation at the Leaders’ Dialogue i.e. a presentation material titled ‘Managing MPA is Managing People’. During the Leaders’ Dialogue on 16 November 2014 Dr. Suseno Sukoyono - DG BPSDMKP, as one of the panelists on Food for Thought — feeding nine billion within our planetary boundaries, emphasized the instrumental importance of partnership with IUCN and CTC in developing capacity for MPA management in Indonesia.

/ / 0 1
The NOAA-CTC Learning Exchange in the US West Coast was hosted by the NOAA California National Marine Sanctuaries and partner institutions. It facilitated five key personnel responsible for capacity building, program and facility development in the Coral Triangle region for the Coral Triangle Center and policy representation for CTI-CFF and with NOAA representative, Anne Nelson, to visit and meet with officers of 11 visitor and education centers in California.
The learning exchange focuses on comparative study and evaluation of the locations visited.
Post-event recommendation is to explore further cooperation in the following area:• MPA Partnership: Design of regional
training programs to help operationalize the CTMPAS with engagement of key staff from the National Marine
Sanctuary Program and CTC as trainers; e.g. training on development of public private partnerships in MPAs to integrate resources and expertise in support of the implementation of MPAs
• Outreach and Education Programs: Follow up on grant proposals to expand the Ocean for Life program (CINMS) and the Climate Change school programs (GNNMS) to CT6 countries and CTC programs
• Visitor and Education Centers: Staff exchanges between NOAA and CTC to support different aspects of the CTC hub development particularly on exhibits (content), the Science on a Sphere (SOS), education programs, webinars – distant learning programs, volunteer programs, membership programs, operations

CTC Office Recycling Project
CTC launched an internal recycling program in partnership with the Bali Recycling Company BRC (http://balirecycling.com/). Once a week, BRC collects CTC’s dry waste and recycle them to a sellable products.
In implementing this program, CTC will be separating waste into 3 categories:
/ / 0 3
Each office space is now equipped with a set of three waste bins. One for normal waste, one for recycling paper-like materials, and one for recycling plastic and other materials. The bins for recycling are designated with signs.
Bali Recycling Company works off of a business model where they try to sell/re-use the waste they collected and CTC receives a refund for the waste they can re-use. To do this, the recycled waste must be clean (i.e. no left over food, no oils, no liquids, etc.)
CTC hope that this program can contribute to waste management and serve as a role-model for other places around Sanur!
Normal waste: • Food waste• Organic waste• Any wet waste
Dry Waste - Paper• Paper• Cardboard• Cartons
Dry Waste - Plastic and Others• Plastic• Glass• Styrofoam• Aluminum• Metal

Art from Plastic Waste: CTC Whale Project
CTC, inspired its chairman of the board of trustees, George S. Tahija, launched a project that would create art from plastic waste, dubbed: The CTC Whale Project. This project aims to create a whole actual size of a blue whale project using plastic waste, particularly waste plastic water bottle that can easily be found littered anywhere in the archipelago. Once made, the giant whale will be used for educational purpose, to introduce marine mammals that are part of the giant web of marine biodiversity, as well as to inspire communities, particularly children, regarding the sustainable use of plastic.
/ / 0 6
In creating this art, CTC works in partnership with a renowned Bali based trash artist, I Made Muliana, or known as “Bayak”. Not long after CTC commissioned Bayak to produce the art, he started developing a mock up as can be seen in the picture below. Bayak is a unique artist who is very passionate to use waste to create his pieces of art. He took the liberty to manifest the idealism of nature conservation with his creation.
He commenced the work by collecting the plastic at waste depot in Pejeng, Kintamani. Half of the ‘whale’s body has then covered by the plastic. After some patching, painting and refining the work, the whale has finally finished in early December. Bayak’s idealism has directed him into the big work of making the pattern of the whale with an iron, something that could easily substituted by styrofoam. According to Bayak, using the foam could be easy but it is against his will to reduce the use of plastic.

THE CORAL TRIANGLE CENTERThe Coral Triangle Center (CTC) is a foundation based in Indonesia that trains marine resource managers and educates all groups that interact with coastlines and reefs within the Coral Triangle. The CTC provides training and learning programs; supports marine-protected areas; coordinates a learning network for MPA practitioners; connects the public and private sector on coastal issues; and is developing a center of excellence in marine conservation in Bali focused on the Coral Triangle.
CTC has a Board of Trustees consisting of 12 members and a Board of Advisers with representatives from each CT6 country and experts form Australia, USA and UK. CTC envisions healthy seas that enrich nature and people with mission is to inspire and train generations to care for coastal and marine ecosystems. There are five programs within CTC, they are Training and Learning, Learning Sites, Learning Network, Public-Private Partnership, and Regional Hub. CTC is developing a portfolio of MPA learning sites throughout the Coral Triangle with Nusa Penida MPA and the Banda Islands as its learnings sites in Indonesia.
Established in 2000, CTC was developed as the regional training arm of The Nature Conservancy. Given the huge growth in demand and need to build capacity at much larger national and regional scales, TNC recognized that regional training and learning services could be best provided over the long term by an autonomous, locally based organization. CTC transitioned from TNC into a fully independent organization in 2011.
To date, CTC has trained more than 1700 professionals and practitioners. The Coral Triangle Center (CTC) and the Indonesian Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (MMAF) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in 2012 to build local leadership and capacity in the field of marine conservation and sustainable fisheries resources conservation.
Coral Triangle Center obtained the status of Development Partner following the decision by the ministers of six Coral Triangle countries in the CTI-CFF 5th Ministerial Meeting held in Manado, May 15, 2014. This decision is made following the 9th Senior Official Meeting (SOM9) in Manila, Philippines on 26-27 November 2013 endorsing the Coral Triangle Center as a new development partner. CTC is the first new Partner of the CTI-CFF since the regional forum was launched in 2009. It joins three of the world’s biggest environmental NGOs – Conservation International, The Nature Conservancy and World Wide Fund for Nature – who have been Partners of the CTI-CFF from the outset, along with the Government of Australia, United States Government, Asian Development Bank, and Global Environment Facility.
