We are thrilled to announce that we’ve received funding through the EPA’s Puget Sound Funds to build capacity for community science and kelp forest monitoring.⁠
⁠
This funding will allow us to:⁠
1️⃣ Expand staff support⁠
2️⃣ Host gatherings to unite partners in regional planning and knowledge sharing⁠
3️⃣ Refresh training materials to grow community participation⁠
⁠
Together, we’ll contribute to kelp restoration and habitat recovery in Puget Sound. Thank you to our partners and supporters for helping us continue this critical work!⁠

Reef Check Malaysia Updates 👇⁠
⁠
Big things are happening with our chapter in Malaysia.⁠
⁠
🪸 Coral Bleaching: Good news! NOAA data shows warming waters are receding, but it doesn’t mean coral is safe. Data collection is still a #1 effort to support this fragile ecosystem.⁠
🪼 UN Ocean Decade Conference: Our colleague Adzmin presented the Community-Based Coral Restoration Project at the UN conference in Barcelona, emphasizing a science-based approach to empowering local communities in marine conservation.⁠
🌱 New Mersing Project: Seagrass monitoring + marine environmental programs are underway.⁠
🚮 Waste Management: Local islanders are working on cost-effective solutions on Mantanani Island because despite the effort, transporting waste is still a financial burden.⁠
🧹 Corporate Conservation: Tioman saw great collaborations with Watsons, KPMG, and SC Johnson on coral reef restoration, microplastic sampling, and crown of thorns cleanup. ⁠
