If you love something, you have to protect it.
I am a lover of the sea 🌊
It saddens me to see the ocean being polluted by rubbish and coral reefs facing a multitude of threats.
Being part of the Coral Conservation Project organised by Lions International and @udivemalaysia in collaboration with @reefcheckmalaysia has opened up my eyes to what I can proactively do to save the earth. It is through being mindful of my actions and making efforts to educate others on the importance of preserving the stunning beauty of the ocean and its coral reefs that the future generation will get to enjoy all that we have been able to so far.
Coral reefs are a productive ecosystem and they are a vital breeding ground for thousands of species of fish. They are very effective for absorbing elements coming from the ocean as they reduce the damage caused by storms and even the energy of tsunamis.
If they actively get destroyed, we lose a critical habitat that will tip the balance of nature. They provide jobs and income to local economies from recreation, fishing and tourism.
Therefore, it is so important to unite to protect the reefs ✊🏼
I had so much fun learning about coral planting and doing my part collecting rubbish underwater. The entire team worked really hard to make this project a success; from transporting the heavy steel structure that was used as the base for coral breeding, to collecting healthy reefs for the plantation and also cleaning the ocean. I’m so glad to be part of this meaningful project and it is a great start for me to advocate for this good cause! 😊
