It has been a very busy month for us, we had a joint exhibition with the SPCA (Sabah Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) at the Seri Insan Secondary school from 23-24th June 2008. We had Dr. Ditch Townsend (Marine Life Photographer) to give the main talk on our behalf, on marine life. SPCA had 2 veterinarians who gave talks on cruelty to animals. The response from the students were amazing. They were very enquisitive during all the talk sessions. The main objective of this exhibition is to get the students to get interested in marine life and to be aware of the threats it is facing now and what they can do to contribute towards the conservation effort. We had also introduced them to some reef health monitoring pack/kit/method such as the Coral Watch Pack sponsored by Project AWARE Foundation.

Overall it was a good 2 days exhibition, the students and the teachers were great and helpful. Many thanks to our volunteers Bob, Clo, Pinky, Daniel, Acom, CT, Adi and our co-organizer cum our legal advisor, Faz. Lastly but not least thanks to the State Museum for lending us the panels for the exhibition especially to Mr. Asun.
