The MDPI team on site Adlien, Wildan and Bestson acted as the facilitators in delivering materials on sustainable fisheries, fisheries potential of Indonesia, and organizational management. Topics and objectives of the training were motivated by Indonesia being one of the 6 countries included in the Coral Triangle region and as millions of Indonesian citizens depend on fisheries and coastal activities.

“Indonesia certainly deserves to be protected and preserved ….sustainability supports both the fishery and the welfare of the communities. Happy Coral Triangle day…..”
