THE CORAL TRIANGLE & DIVE SITES NUSA PENIDA

The Coral Triangle is the term that refers to a widespread geographic area connecting separate countries. These countries include; Timor Leste, Solomon Island, Philippines, Papua New Guinea, Malaysia, and Indonesia. The area is known as the global center of marine biodiversity. Notably, each ecoregion is home to more than 500 species of reef-building corals. Additionally, this area covers 5.7 million kilometers of ocean and helps sustain the lives of more than 120 million people. The Coral Triangle is known as the “Amazon of the seas”, and for good reason. Due to its vast amount of biological resources, it has been officially classified as a worldwide priority of marine conservation. Marine conservation organizations including WWF are aware of the threat this area faces and have made saving it a priority. Sadly, fishing exports, and coastal tourism revenues, are drastically affecting one of the few remaining marine life sanctuaries.
