As part of CTC’s partnership with the government of Timor-Leste, CTC conducted a 7-day preliminary survey of Timor Leste’s coral reefs, fish, and important habitats. CTC, along with the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries and Atauro MPA committee, used the manta-tow method to conduct the survey.

Manta tows are scientifically accepted methods to collect data across a wide range over a relatively short timeframe. In just 4 days, the team was able to survey the entire 60 kilometer coastline of Atauro. The team found a number of important species such as sharks, dolphins, whales, barracuda, reef fish, giant clam, 8 napoleon, parrotfish, and sea turtles. In addition, the

9 Learning Sites CTC QUARTERLY REPORT 2014 - 01 In cooperation with Nusa Penida’s MPA management unit, CTC facilitated monthly joint patrols and resource use monitoring surveys. During the patrols the team encountered a few violations of Penida’s zoning regulations.

Some of these violations included a recreational boat fishing in the core zone, where no activities are allowed, as well as two boats fishing in marine tourism zones where fishing is regulated to certain times of the day. In addition, the team encountered a fishing vessel from Lombok violating the regulations, so they provided the captain and crew with information about Penida’s zoning policies. The team also came across a boat carrying a compressor, which is usually used to conduct illegal fishing activities.

Besides these few violations, the joint patrol team found a very high level of compliance from Nusa Penida’s stakeholders, in particular the fishing communities. Alongside the patrols, the team also conducted outreach with fishing boats and tourism vessels about Nusa Penida MPA regulations. The patrol team consisted of a variety of stakeholder groups including fisherman representatives, navy and policy officers, local NGOs, and officials from Nusa Penida’s Sub-district Office. // 02 // 03 Nusa Penida MPA Ministerial Decree Nusa Penida MPA 1st Task Force Meeting 10 Signed For the first time in 2014, the Nusa Penida MPA Task- Force organized a meeting led by Klungkung Head

CTC recently brought a group of students, from the Victoria they learned how healthy mangroves function to Shanghai Academy-Hong Kong to our learning site in Nusa benefit both humans and the ecosystem, including Penida to learn about the importance of marine ecosystems how they filter waste from land, protect the and conservation. For many of the 35 students and 4 teachers land against abrasion from waves, and act as a from grade 7 to 10, this trip was the first time seeing coral sanctuary for economically important juvenile fish reefs and fish, getting close to mangrove forests, and even to develop. Irene Tsui, a teacher from VSA-Hong seeing crystal clear water and star-filled night skies. Kong emphasized, “This is an excellent learning opportunity for the students and me. We learned CTC strives to leave behind a world for our children and future a lot about the interconnecting parts of the ocean generations that is as good as, or better than, how we found and how humans rely on the ocean, which is why it. Children are a powerful symbol of the future. They provide we must protect the ocean and its ecosystems.” us with a compelling reason to protect the environment. However, today’s young generation will face the toughest environmental challenges yet, in terms of climate change and the ever-increasing pressure on natural resources. This generation will need the environmental awareness and sense of stewardship that is instilled through exploration of nature. Through our learning sites, CTC educates youth about the importance of the ocean and conservation in order to inspire them to protect the environment.

Discovering human’s connection with the environment: In Nusa Lembongan the students were introduced to various marine ecosystems, the threats they are facing, and current conservation projects. While touring a mangrove forest Meeting and supporting local communities: Throughout the trip, the student’s interacted with and helped support the local community. Along with local junior-high school students, the group crawled through the mud to plant mangrove seedlings.

For some students, this was the first time they got their hands dirty and touched a mangrove. “We don’t usually see mud in the city,” said Katherine Wong after she and her teammates planted their mangrove seeds in Nusa Lembongan.

Afterwards, with assistance from local seaweed farmers, the group helped attach seaweed 13 cuttings to a rope and had a lot of fun wading Learning Networks CTC QUARTERLY REPORT 2014 - 01 through the water to plant them close to shore. From this activity, the students learned how seaweed farming supports communities by acting as a promising source of alternative livelihoods, helping to reduce fising pressure.

Inspiring youth to take action: This trip inspired students to become advocates and stewards of the ocean. Irene Tsui said, “This trip really puts the students in perspective about the natural world and how humans are part of the marine and coastal ecosystem. I think this experience will make the students start efforts to take action in small steps that they can do to save the ocean and marine ecosystems.” According to Ling Li, it is very important to maintain the ocean’s balance, “the ocean opens a lot of economic opportunity for people…and the oxygen is from the ocean, the waves and the weather is controlled by the ocean, so it is very important to not break the balance of the ocean.”

Like each and every one of us, these students will soon be making decisions that affect marine and coastal ecosystems. It is our hope they will pass on what they learned to their friends and family back home. We believe the best way to address the issues affecting the oceans is to involve all stakeholders in the discussion. Only by engaging all constituencies, including children, can “I’ve never touched corals and seaweed before!” solutions be effective. said Ling Li, a senior student at Victoria Shanghai Academy, after finishing his activities in adopting coral and assisting seaweed farmers.

This trip is also Ling’s first time seeing a sea turtle being released into the sea, “For me, this is the best thing ever!”

“I’ve never seen such a beautiful sea that is so clean, and I’ve always wanted to see what’s underwater with all the corals and different types of fish, I love it!” said Katherine Wong after snorkeling session in Nusa Lembongan. // 02 experience firsthand Nusa Penida MPA and CTC’s CTC’s and Penida MPA Nusa firsthand experience work. on the ground presentation and discussion on the stages of of on the stages and discussion presentation including area, a marine conservation establishing Nusa from learned and lessons practices the best field a conducted also delegation The MPA.

THE CORAL TRIANGLE CENTER The 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.
