KOTA KINABALU: Young people from islands off Sabah’s east coast Semporna district not only learned to restore coral reefs but also the value of marine life to the ocean ecosystem.
Some 30 people, aged between 16 and 30 years old, hailing from the islands of Larapan and Mabul took part in a three-day training course organised by marine conservation NGO, Reef Check Malaysia.
"Unfortunately for many of the islands, threats such as unsustainable fishing practice has reduced the number of available coral reefs. He said the series began with certifying islanders from Larapan and Mabul with diving certification for open water and advanced open water diving. Throughout this year, Adzmin said, they will be trained to monitor coral reef health by becoming part of EcoDiver, a Ree Check Malaysia conservation initiative.
