National Park is a nature conservation area which has a native ecosystem, managed by the zoning system is utilized for the purpose of research, science, education, support aquaculture, tourism and recreation. Zoning system consists of core zone utilization, and other zones as necessary.
Cenderawasih Bay National Park is managed by the zoning system. Zoning division can be seen in the image or map with a brief description as follows:
Core Zone
Is a strict protection zone, which serves to protect the types and areas of high conservation value, such as habitat and species of rare or endangered species or threatened destruction; sensitive habitats are vulnerable to disturbance; areas that are used to protect the breeding stock of types that may be used, and examples are still good or full of natural habitat types.
Protective zone
Location of protective zones surrounding the core zone. Its purpose is to protect the core zone and a buffer from activities in other zones that do not have a direct impact on the core zone.
Limited Use Zones
Is an area of natural resource use by local people traditionally for the sake of daily living as well as by visitors or entrants but with control and certain restrictions so as not to damage the habitat or taking protected species, rare or endangered.
Buffer Zones
An area outside the zones mentioned above and earmarked for security and other activities. Based on the Ministry of Forestry No.185/Kpts-II/1997, TNTC management organization is Cenderawasih National Park Authority (BTNTC).

In coastal ecosystems found forest / mangrove vegetation, among others: Rhizophora sp. (Mangrove mangrove), Sonneratia sp. (Tancang), Avicennia sp. (Fires), Ceriops sp. (Cleaner), Bruguiera sp., Xylocarpus sp., And Heritiera sp. Groups such vegetation is a good habitat for spawning species, fish and shrimp, and a variety of plankton and other small fish.
In marine ecosystems are natural reef was beautiful and spacious which can be grouped into five principal forms overlays, ie coral shaped pieces (Patch Reef), fringing reef (Reef Fringging), coral reef barrier (Barrier Reef), a ring-shaped coral reef (Atol), shallow waters and coral reefs (Shallow Water Reef). Coral reefs are made up of about 67 genera and sub-genera, including 145 species of corals Scleractinia contained to a depth of 35 meters.
The percentage of live coral cover varied between 30.40% to 65.64%. These variations are influenced partly by the level of public intervention in the utilization of natural resources.
Coral reef ecosystems are generally divided into two zones, namely reef zones (reef flat) and reef slope zone (reef slope). Reef zone on the shoreline bulkhead substrate is dominated by sand and seagrass. In this zone can be some kind of a family especially Porites coral, Acropora, Poccilopora, and Favites. In some islands, the reef zone can be seen: blue colonies (Heliopora coerulea), black coral (Antiphates sp.), And Pectiniidae Faviidae family, as well as different types of soft corals.

On the reef slope zone, there are other types of coral, among others: Leptoseris spp., Montiphora spp., Oxyphora spp., Mycedium elephantathus and Piristesrus. Cover-reef is a habitat, shelter and breeding of various species of fish and mollusk that lives attached to the coral reef.
