In the last 3 months, over 3 tonnes of ghost nets were removed from coral reefs around Tioman Island. The ghost nets had sadly claimed the life of many sharks, turtles, fish and corals. These efforts would not have been possible if not for the collaboration between Tioman Marine Conservation Group, Department of Fisheries Malaysia, dive operators on Tioman Island and our team. Many thanks go to Tioman boatmen and dive and snorkelling operators who took the effort to report sightings of ghost nets. And not forgetting your ongoing support to our efforts. Thank you very much from all of us.
