Abstract

This report summarizes activities carried out by WorldFish under Agreement CT09 Amendment No.2 dated 31 March 2010 between WorldFish and WWF, under the Coral Triangle Support Partnership (CTSP) project. The overall goal of the five-year CTSP project is “to improve the management of biologically and economically important coastal and marine resources and associated ecosystems that support the livelihoods of peoples and economies in the Coral Triangle”. The US Coral Triangle Initiative (CTI) and CTSP’s strategy for achieving this goal is to focus on four main result areas, and the work described in this report primarily targets Result 4: Capacity to adapt to climate change improved throughout the Coral Triangle region.
