READY TO PROTECT OUR CORAL REEFS?
Take the first step in learning how to protect the ocean by joining our coral restoration workshop in Kota Kinabalu on land or underwater! Our hands-on workshop focuses on understanding how we can individually have an impact in the protection of our ocean, gives an understanding of coral biology, and introduces you to coral restoration philosophy. The best part is it can be done in school, the beach, while snorkeling, or during a dive! Dry workshops are discounted. Reach out for more information.
