The Tri-national Sea Turtle conservation harbors the largest aggregation of nesting green turtles (Chelonia mydas) and significant nesting populations of hawksbills (Eretmochelys imbricata) in the ASEAN region. In addition, extensive and highly productive mangrove forests, seagrass beds and coral reefs characterize the corridor. The area is increasingly subjected to serious anthropogenic threats such as destructive fishing, overfishing, siltation and poorly planned coastal development.

Essential activities in the corridor include MPA establishment and management including networking; species conservation; establishment of partnerships and alliances; policy work; awareness and capacity building; and sustainable financing. Project outcomes intends to demonstrate the links between human welfare development and biodiversity conservation.
