US pledges $40 Million to save Marine ecosystem of 6 Nations - 2

The US government funding will support the commitments and progress made by the six Coral Triangle (CT6) countries’ governments as part of the CTI’s plan of action. Supporting the CT6 is an association of development partners, including non-governmental organizations, private donor foundations, and governmental agencies, including USAID, the US Department of State, the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Agency (NOAA) and others.

“The Coral Triangle Initiative builds on three decades of assistance that the US government has provided for coastal resource management in the Asia-Pacific,” “USAID continues its ongoing bilateral assistance programs in coastal and marine resource management, valued at over $10 million, in cooperation with the many other partners who are contributing to this very worthy cause.”
