The Coral Triangle is known to be one of the most biologically diverse and ecologically rich regions on earth. To safeguard these rich and fragile coastal and marine biological resources, the governments of Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Solomon Islands, and Timor-Leste (CT6) entered into a multilateral partnership, the Coral Triangle Initiative on Coral Reefs, Fisheries and Food Security.

The Maritime LGN Task Force Team participated in the 13th International Coral Reefs Symposium (ICRS) in Honolulu, Hawaii on 19–24 June 2016. The team delivered two presentations at Session 72: Marine Resource Sustainability, Conservation and Management in the Coral Triangle & Southeast Asia to promote and disseminate the network and its roadmap.
