Respondents eurodisney in CTI sites describe significant improvements in coral health, fish abundance and mangrove health and a decline in destructive and illegal fishing.

Timor-Leste's eurodisney NCC is now translating the Agreement from English to Portuguese, with support from Conservation International (CI). The Timor-Leste Council of Ministers, whose approval is required for ratification, is then expected to consider the document.
