Abstract
The Halmahera Seascape lies within the heart of the Coral Triangle situated between two of the most diverse seascapes of Indonesia - Sulawesi and the Birds Head. With more than 1000 km2 of its coral reef marine ecosystems still unexplored, the region is truly one of the last frontiers of coral reef science. Encompassing four peninsulas and three great bays, Halmahera is the largest island of the Maluku Province, with a land area of 17,780 km². The Halmahera seascape remains unprotected by a single functional marine protected area (MPA) yet threats to the health of its coral reefs are ever present.
