Volunteers building over 1,000 coral reef frames in Kudat
Volunteers and environmentalists have built over 1,000 coral reef frames to restore damaged reefs at Tun Mustapha Marine Park in Kudat over the past three days.
This effort aims to plant 12,000 coral fragments and 1,000 reef structures as part of the marine park's ninth anniversary and to set a record in the Malaysia Book of Records.
This initiative started on Monday (May 5) and will end on May 18, said Sabah Parks director Maklarin Lakim.
According to the Sabah Parks Facebook page, the programme's goal was to lay down 1,000 reef frames with 12,000 fragments for a national record.
On the first day at Kg Tajau Laut Kudat, the programme began with an introduction and awareness talk on marine biodiversity and reef restoration techniques.
The event involved 169 participants from various groups, including Sabah Parks, Universiti Malaysia Sabah, villagers, NGOs, divers, and students.
