Coral Triangle Centre

In 1989, Ms Rili Djohani was an accomplished diver who had already logged long hours underwater in the North Sea, the Mediterranean, and the Caribbean. Still, the waters of the Coral Triangle were a revelation. Nowhere else is the underwater world so riotously colorful and rich, no other place on the planet teems with such an abundance and diversity of life. There is no other place that is simultaneously tranquil and vibrant to such a degree.

With a small team ready to step into the roles needed for an independent organization, Rili, along with Mr George Tahija, Mr Hasyim Djalal, and Mr Made Subadia, founded CTC as an independent Indonesian foundation in 2010.
