WHAT DOES THE PROJECT AIM TO ACHIEVE?

Our primary aim is to conserve the biodiversity of the Arafura and Timor seas for the overall health of the ocean and the livelihoods of the communities who depend on it for survival. We also work to ensure the networks supporting these resources and revenues are operated efficiently, fairly and sustainably.

Our objective: to ensure the sustainable management and usage of living coastal and marine resources

Our goal: to sustain the flow of ecosystem goods and services from the Arafura and Timor Seas

From conserving natural ecosystems to empowering local fisheries and securing regional supply chains, the ATSEA-2 Project sets out to ensure that coastal and marine resources are protected.
