The Wildlife Conservation Society’s Indonesia Marine Program aims to conserve marine and coastal resources vital to the protection and sustainability of human livelihoods across the Indonesian archipelago from the Bay of Bengal through to the heart of the Coral Triangle. WCS employs a rigorous scientific approach to build capacity, strengthen management and inspire community stewardship for the protection and sustainable use of critical marine ecosystems, fisheries and threatened species. This dynamic and rapidly growing program has three core objectives: (1) to establish and increase the management effectiveness of 1.3 million hectares of MPAs in seascapes in Sumatra, Java, Sulawesi, and the Sunda-Banda sea; (2) sustainable management of coastal fisheries in and around networks of MPAs;
