The Conflict Island Atoll located in the Coral Triangle and the center for marine biodiversity, is recognized as one of the world’s marine hotspots boasting some of the largest numbers of fish species noted in a single dive averaging 220 species of fish per dive!
CICI is currently working together with our partner communities to secure more international and local awareness for Milne Bay's inherent natural marine wonders. Creating Protected Marine Areas for the Conflict Atoll will be a big step forward to increasing the Marine Protected Areas in Papua New Guinea, that is part of the essential life support for Australia's Great Barrier Reef and will become of increased economic and ecological importance as the threats to Australia's reefs increase.
CICI, through its volunteer programs, aims for the protection and enhancement of this amazing natural environment, which, from its own beauty demands to be protected. Harboring endemic species, diverse reefs yet to be fully explored, species completely new to science, and numerous endangered species, The Conflict Islands is one of the last Eden's left on earth. Home to endangered turtles, manta rays, sharks and hundreds of corals and reef fish, the Conflict Islands is situated perfectly to conserve and protect the magnificent biodiversity employing our Conservation Rangers through in country partnerships with The Coral Islands Ltd.
Inviting researchers from around the world and locally in PNG, CICI encourages the exploration and categorization of this amazing marine landscape. Working with internationally significant conservation bodies and universities such as James Cook University, Sea Shepherd, Take3 For the Sea, Animal Assist, SEE Turtles, SPREP and WWF, we hope to preserve and enhance all that this natural marine environment has to offer.
The conservation responsibility now lies with the owner, the visitors and the local community to uphold all practices that safeguard this pristine and unique area of the world.
