The Reef Dive Resort at Pulau Mataking in Sabah, Malaysia is pleased to announce the 2nd Reef Check Malaysia event is to be held on the 5th to 9th June 2009. This event will coincide with the well established annual Mataking Reef Day.
The purpose of the Reef Check is to monitor our reefs and continue the data base of the marine life in predetermined areas of our famous house reef. The gathered information will be submitted to Reef Check Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur for world wide publication and future reference data.
We invite divers who have an interest in marine life to join us. Divers do not need to be marine biologists! Anyone can join! It will be a fun weekend of diving with a purpose. The event will be very educational.
At the same time we will be conducting courses in Fish Identification and Eco Diver training. These courses are an optional extra.
Certain areas of our famous house reef will be marked with tape as a baseline. Divers in buddy pairs with good buoyancy equipped with slates and measuring tapes will be given separate tasks such as identifying and counting fish species, measuring corals, identifying little critters, etc. Photos will be taken for future reference.
If you care about our environment and are keen to help preserve our natural heritage.
