  3. In response to the alarming trends of destruction in the region, President Yudhoyono of Indonesia proposed to other CT leaders a new multilateral partnership to safeguard the region’s marine and coastal biological resources: the Coral Triangle Initiative on Coral Reefs, Fisheries and Food Security (CTI-CFF). This initial proposal set in motion a series of events that has advanced this effort quickly and decisively

President Arroyo (Philippines) President Jose Ramos-Horta (East Timor) PM Abdullah Ahmad Badawi (Malaysia) PM Sogavare (Solomon Islands) PM Somare (PNG) President Bush (U.S.) PM Howard (Australia) President Yudhoyono (Indonesia) • March 2006 President letter to Biodiversity Convention • September 2007 - 21 Government Leaders support CTI at APEC Summit in Sydney, Australia • December 2007 – 6 CTI countries have 1st Senior Official Meeting in Bali

  5. CORAL TRIANGLE INITIATIVE ON CORAL REEF, FISHERIES & FOOD SECURITY (CTI – CFF) MEMBERS • INDONESIA • MALAYSIA • PAPUA NEW GUINEA • PHILIPPINES • TIMOR-LESTE • SOLOMON ISLANDS PARTNERS • USA • AUSTRALIA • ADB • TNC • CI • WWF

  6. 1st Senior Officials Meeting (SOM1) – Bali, 6 – 7 December 2007 • Results: Principles and 5 Goals • “Priority Seascapes” designated and effectively managed • Ecosystem approach to management of fisheries and other marine resources fully applied • Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) established and effectively managed, including community-based resource utilization and management • Climate change adaptation measures achieved • Threatened species status improving

  7. Officially launch CTI-CFF to address threats to marine, coastal and small island ecosystem through accelerated collaborative action Adopt the CTI Regional Plan of Action (CTI – RPOA), a document to conserve and sustainably manage coastal and marine resource Agreed to establish Secretariat to service the ongoing implementation process

  8. The Ministers adopted the CTI Coordination Mechanism Structure and its Terms of Reference, and the CTI Regional Secretariat structure and its basic functions Ministers endorsed Indonesia to host the CTI Regional Secretariat The Ministers expressed their appreciation for the exemplary work of the interim CTI Regional Secretariat and agreed to extend its mandate until a permanent secretariat is formally established 2nd Ministerial MeetingGizo, Solomon IslandsNovember 2009

  9. CTI – CFF Coordination Mechanism Structure Agreed in SOM4, Kota Kinabalu Malaysia, Oct’09

  10. Organization Structure

  11. ROADMAP CTI-CFF 2010 - 2011 • SOM 7 • Legal drafting of the establishment of the CTI-CFF Regional Secretariat • Legal drafting of the Host Country Agreement • conciliation of legal draft documents • 6th Senior Officials Meeting (SOM 6) • High Level Financial Meeting • 3rd Ministerial Meeting (MM 3) • Finalizing Financial Commitment and Planning • CTI-CFF Regional Secretariat operates • Drafting rules of procedure • Drafting financial regulations • Drafting staff regulations • Finalizing procedures and regulations • Recruitment process • Finalizing Host Country Agreement • Preparation and implementation of Prioritized Regional Plan of Actions • Implementation of National Plan of Actions • Preparation and development of Secretariat’s building

  12. Priority Actions Recommended for 2010 – 2011 Identified nine priority actions from the CTI-CFF Regional Plan of Action. Goal 1. Priority Seascapes designated and effectively managed Target 2. Marine and coastal resources within all “Priority Seascapes” are being sustainably managed. Action 1. Adopt a general “model” for sustainable management of seascapes. Goal 2. Ecosystem Approach for Fisheries Management (EAFM) Target 1. Strong legislative, policy and regulatory frameworks in place for achieving an ecosystem approach to fisheries management Action 1. Collaborate to develop a “common regional framework for legislation and policy” that would support EAFM; drawing on this, strengthen regional and national legislation, policies and regulations. Action 2. Improve enforcement of IUU fishing through greater collaboration.

  13. Priority Actions Recommended for 2010 – 2011 Goal 3. MPA established and effectively managed Target 1. Region-wide Coral Triangle MPA System (CTMPAS) in place and fully functional. Action 1. Jointly establish overall goals, objectives, principles, and operational design elements for a CTMPAS centered around priority MPA networks. Action 3. Build capacity for effective management of the CTMPAS. Goal 4. Climate change adaptation measures achieved Target 1. Region-wide Early Action Plan for Climate Change Adaptation for the near-shore marine and coastal environment and small island ecosystems developed and implemented Action 1. Identify the most important and immediate adaptation measures that should be taken across all Coral Triangle countries, based primarily on analyses using existing models.

  14. Priority Actions Recommended for 2010 – 2011 Goal 4. Climate change adaptation measures achieved Target 1. Action 3 and 4. (blended) Complete and implement a Region-wide Early Action Plan for Climate Change Adaptation and Conduct capacity needs assessments and develop capacity programs on climate change adaptation measures Goal 5. Threatened species status improving Target 1. Improved status of sharks, sea turtles, seabirds, marine mammals, coral, seagrass, mangroves and other identified threatened species Action 3. Complete and implement region-wide Sea Turtles Conservation Action Plan. Action 5. Complete and implement region-wide Marine Mammals Conservation Action Plan.
