The province of Madang is nestled between the East Sepik, Highland, and Morobe provinces, and faces onto the biodiversity-rich Bismarck Sea in the northern part of Papua New Guinea. The Bismarck Sea is part of the Bismarck Solomon Seas Ecoregion (BSSE) that stretches from the Birdshead Peninsula in the province of Papua in Indonesia, across the Admiralty and Bismarck archipelagos of Papua New Guinea, to Makira in the Solomon Islands. The BSSE is referred to as the “Western Indo-Pacific cradle of biodiversity”.
