-The Coral Triangle is an area so rich in sea life that it is known as the global center of marine biodiversity. Stretching north to the Philippines, west to Sumatra and east to the Solomon Islands, the Coral Triangle is where the Pacific and the Indian Oceans meet. Over 500 species of reef-building corals can be found there, providing homes and feeding grounds to more than 3,000 species of fish. The Coral Triangle is also a superhighway for migratory species like tuna, whales and ocean sunfish – and Sulawesi lies at the heart of it all.
