As we become certified to explore the underwater world, we have a chance to see the beauty within it. A thriving ecosystem, a world many call home, a world that is currently under threat. In this episode, I speak with Alvin Chelliah, the Chief Program Officer with Reef Check Malaysia. After earning his degree in Marine Science, he became a leading figure in Southeast Asia in the efforts to help address this growing concern. Ghost net removals, The Tioman Marine Conservation Group, Importance of protecting the reefs, Coral restoration projects, and much more. Please enjoy.
