CTI Marine Values Framework: PNG Implementation

-

Coral Triangle Initiative

In order to maintain marine and coastal ecosystem services, stakeholders and decision-makers require spatial information to enable governance for sustainable development and management of natural resources and cultural heritage. The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Resource Organisation (CSIRO) has developed a Marine and Coastal Values Framework that can be applied to natural resource, ecological and socio-cultural data to comprehensively value ecosystem features and cultural assets. This project is a part of the Australian Government’s commitment to the Coral Triangle Initiative (CTI).
