Coral Triangle Day

Intended as an open-sourced event, the day is celebrated by individuals, organizations, and establishment concerned on the Coral Triangle.

Moreover, the biogeographical conditions within the CT may also enable the region to maintain its exceptional productivity in the face of future impacts of climate change, making it potentially the world's most important "refuge" for marine life.

[3] Today, the coastal and marine ecosystems in the Coral Triangle are under significant and increasing threat by the warming, acidifying and rising seas.

Over half the coral reefs are at high risk primarily from coastal development, overfishing, and unsustainable fishing practices.

[3] Since the marine resources are a principal source of income for the population, the downstream effects of losing these critical coastal ecosystems are enormous.
