The Sulu-Sulawesi Marine Eco-region (SSME) or
Sulu-Sulawesi Seascape is located in the western Indo Pacific region at the
apex of the Coral Triangle covering 1 million km² of marine and terrestrial
areas in Indonesia (North Sulawesi and East and North Kalimantan), Malaysia
(Sabah) and the Philippines. The Coral Triangle Initiative on Coral Reefs,
Fisheries and Food Security (CTI-CFF) recognizes the Sulu-Sulawesi Seascape as
one of its priority seascapes.
The Sulu-Sulawesi Seascape Project, with funding support
from the Federal German Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation,
Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB), is implemented by the partner organisations
in the respective countries and GIZ under the umbrella of CTI-CFF.
The overall project outcome is:
The countries of the Sulu-Sulawesi-Seascape, a
priority seascape under the CTI-CFF, implement their actions within the
framework of the Regional Plan of Action (RPOA) in a more coordinated manner,
with a special focus on Marine Protected Areas (MPA), an Ecosystem Approach to
Fisheries Management (EAFM) and Climate Change Adaptation Planning.
As the project approach is tri-national, the outputs
of this project should be replicated in the three countries of the
Sulu-Sulawesi Seascape as well as the larger Coral Triangle Region in which
they are embedded.
