This Friday we'll have vitamin Sea..! @wawanasaad will deliver about Indonesian Coral Triangle. Come and join us with Zoom. - This presentation presents an integrated and systematic approach to prioritizing areas for biodiversity conservation, and aims to address significant knowledge gaps in the geographic priorities for marine biodiversity conservation in the Coral Triangle region. The Coral Triangle encompasses parts of South-East Asia and the Western Pacific, and is a priority for marine biodiversity conservation because it has the highest species richness, and perhaps endemicity, of any marine region globally. To identify areas of importance for biodiversity conservation, a multi-criteria decision analysis was conducted using the above pre-defined ecological criteria. In addition, spatial prioritization tools were applied to guide the identification of an effective MPA network for the Coral Triangle. Finally, to engage a wider audience and to raise participation in biodiversity conservation, an interactive and online atlas of the Coral Triangle was developed. This digital map presents representative information to promote a better understanding of the key marine and coastal biodiversity characteristics of the region and enables the application of marine biodiversity informatics to support marine ecosystem-based management in the Coral Triangle region. - - #NEDtalk #Marine #CoralTriangel @jorienterlouw @itc_alumni https://www.instagram.com/p/CC5y-WQDnjP/?igshid=13d5eef97q9n5
