In 2015, the Trust appointed a Director to drive and expand the organisation. The Director works closely with the Board and other institutions and organisations to further the goals of the CCT and ensure that the Trust has a sustainable future.

CCT’s aim is to make sure that this valuable natural environment is conserved, and can act as an example for conservation and management of such environments across the planet.  With the right care, the archipelago can be a reminder of how tropical reefs flourished many hundreds of years ago, and can offer vital insight into how they might be saved for generations to come.
