Coral Triangle

The Coral Triangle stretches across Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, Timor-Leste and the Solomon Islands. More than six million square kilometres of ocean, sheltering over 600 species of reef-building coral and around 2,000 species of reef fish — more than anywhere else on Earth. Scientists call it the Amazon of the Seas.

Most of our designs are about one place. This one is about all of it at once.

It is the region every other print in the series comes from — Raja Ampat's kaleidoscopic reefs, Komodo's wild currents, Anilao's sea slugs, the Banda Sea's hammerheads and volcanic walls. Drawing it meant trying to hold that whole spread in one pattern: the density of it, the way a single square metre of reef can contain more life than an entire ocean elsewhere, the sense that you could dive here for a lifetime and still be surprised.

It is also home to millions of people who depend on these reefs for food, culture and a living. The Coral Triangle is not scenery. It is somewhere people live, and it is the single most important stretch of ocean we have.
