Artificial reef alive with thriving corals this third installment of the Eco-Marine expedition by the International Medical School of Management and Science University (MSU)
Coral reefs are nature’s own fish-aggregators. Their decline, however, reduces fish numbers to critical levels, affecting an important food source while jeopardizing the entire marine ecosystem. Management and Science University (MSU) dives in to green the oceans again.
MSU greening the blue through coral propagation by artificial-reef seeding
The third edition of the university’s Eco-Marine project My Coral took MSUrians back to Geluk Island, Terengganu, where volunteers from MSU’s MBBS, BMS, DMS, DMA, FMS, FLW, BGDA, and BTESL programmes were joined by their alumni seniors from MBBS and BBM. Contributing to the environmental cause with their coral adoption were alumnus Faizul Azwan, founder of the Fintech Empowerment Group (FEG), and alumnus Dr Khairul Salikin, owner of The Laundry Day. Project Director Muhammad Syakir Abd Halek led the way.
Reef decline is a threat to marine life sustainability
Arriving at the island village of Rhu Sepuluh, the group kick-started their expedition with health screening by the Medical Team at the local farmer’s market. This was followed by health education at the Rhu Sepuluh KEMAS Kindergarten, and fish-net sewing as well as bubu-making activities with the fishermen folk.
Caring for community wellbeing
Starting the young with personal healthcare
Sewing hope into future sustainability of the world’s fishes
Sending baby turtles on their way to the marine ecosystem where they belong
