Sunda Banda Seascape (SBS) is an area in the center of Coral Triangle which have more than 151 million hectares of waters areas, with more than 16 million population were depend their live on coastal area. This has led to pressure to the coastal and marine environment become much more higher. To compensate the pressure, the development of MPAs in SBS become increasingly important. Recently, MPA in Indonesia has masively developed. However, the monitoring system to monitor the management effectiveness were not in place yet. The extensive area of SBS waters and the various stakeholder involved in MPA management has caused the information about MPAs in this area were spread among several organization and institutions. To holistically overview the MPA effectiveness in SBS, an online monitoring system is needed which can be access easily by multiple stakeholders. SBS Atlas is an online spatial database that can be used to monitor the development of MPAs as well as the biodiversity and socio economic condition in SBS area. Sbs Atlas is expected to be a reference to the MPA managers in set a strategy to increase the MPA effectiveness.
