Last week, Reef Check Malaysia together with Department of Fisheries Malaysia conducted 2 EcoDiver course sessions (Reef Check EcoDiver course trains recreational scuba divers to conduct Reef Check surveys) to train and certify 18 officers from the Association of Diplomatic and Administrative Officers, Malaysia. Upon completion of the course, they conducted 4 Reef Check surveys around Tioman Island to collect data needed to assess the health of coral reefs.
The decision taken by the association to undergo this program is very welcome and encouraging as members of this service is in charge of planning, formulating and implementing national policies. By taking the course, they are able to better understand the importance, threats and need to protect and conserve coral reefs. It is hoped that the exposure and knowledge that they gained will help them to better plan, formulate and implement national policies related to the environment and management of coral reefs in Malaysia.
