Conservation is key

The PNG Marine Conservation Initiative aims to significantly advance the geographic scope and effectiveness of marine conservation programs and humanitarian aid delivery across the eastern Coral Triangle, while providing a platform for scientists, photographers, medical personnel and government agencies to access these remote island archipelagos and further their work.

The PNG Marine Conservation team of scientists will continue monitoring and documenting the marine biodiversity of this incredible region and assist the PNG Government to meet its national and international conservation targets.

The PNG Marine Conservation Initiative 2020 is a collaboration between the Coral Sea Foundation and our partners at PNG Yacht Services, Melanesian Luxury Yacht Services, and the PNG Centre for Locally managed Areas, and will operate in area that stretches 1,700 kilometres across the Papua New Guinea and Solomon island archipelagos.

Craig De Wit from PNG Yacht Services has donated his vessel, the 24-metre Golden Dawn, at cost for the Foundation’s use in 2020.
