Inspiring Future Leaders

On the 20th and 21st July 2009, KK Reef Watch and SPCA KK held a joint exhibition at the Library of University Malaysia Sabah. The exhibition was held to promote marine conservation through education and also to gain support from university students.

Interesting students :)

Salha explaining about KKRW marine program

It was very encouraging to see many of our university students who cared enough to volunteer with both KK Reef Watch and SPCA. KK Reef Watch is in fact encouraging the spirit of volunteerism. Volunteers makes a difference by contributing their time, skills and energy to a noble cause in order to improve quality of human lives.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the students of UMS who have voluntarily helped us during the UMS Library exhibition. Special thanks to Ju Ping and the 2nd Yr. Marine Science students who contributed their time and energy in making the exhibition a success.

Excited about marine education

The marine ecosystem in Kota Kinabalu is in dire state. As residents of this beautiful city and just as a human being, it is our social responsibility to ensure the safety of our community and our environment, which includes all flora and fauna.

Explaining the benefit of becoming a volunteer

KK is a rapidly developing coastal city and our resources are being utilized unsustainably. If we do not do something about this now then when are we going to start being accountable for what we do.

The Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park is just 15 minutes away by boat. Its close proximity to the city is causing massive damage to its marine life. Sedimentation from unmitigated reclamation around the coastal area and land clearing from mainland causes our waters to be murky and turbid. There are many other threats to our environment occurring at the moment and this is the time for us to make a stand together.

The event was a great deal more festive with support from Vico and Indocafe who was there for both days.
