The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has announced details of a new phase of its four-year project supporting the Coral Triangle Initiative on Coral Reefs, Fisheries and Food Security (CTI-CFF).
ADB is providing technical assistance to five Pacific countries through the project “Strengthening Coastal and Marine Resources Management in the Coral Triangle of the Pacific (Phase II)”, which aims to improve the resilience of their coastal and marine ecosystems to climate change.
There is currently no comprehensive legislation on coastal management or marine resource conservation in Timor-Leste. Subsidiary law from Indonesian law are applied in the meanwhile. At the moment, a national park has already been established (with significant marine resource protection) and several marine protected areas are in preparation.
