Indonesia
CoML Indonesia was successfully launched on 24 July 2007 at a meeting held at the Department of Marine Affairs and Fisheries’ Agency for Marine and Fisheries Research, Jakarta, Indonesia.
The three initial goals of the program are:
- Establish a CoML Indonesia National Implementation Committee (NIC);
- Incorporate existing accessible Indonesian marine biodiversity data for the Arafura and Timor Seas (ATS) into the CoML Ocean Biodiversity Information System (OBIS); and,
- Undertake a marine biodiversity review (MBR) of what used to live, what currently lives, and what might live in the ATS.
For more information on this committee, please see Report of the First Meeting of CoML Indonesia
