Reef Check Malaysia

The students at SMK Adela continued their Marine Ecosystem Awareness journey!

This time, students get to do an interactive activity that encouraged students to put their knowledge into action.

Working in groups, students developed their own marine awareness campaigns through A2 posters, focusing on marine ecosystems, the importance of protecting them, and the need for greater awareness and care.

Each group then presented their campaign, sharing the key messages behind their posters and what they believe can be done to encourage greater appreciation and protection of marine ecosystems.

Beyond creating posters, the activity gave students a platform to turn what they had learned into messages that can be shared with others, encouraging young voices to play a role in spreading marine conservation awareness.

The Qube Apps Solutions Sdn Bhd team, our Bronze ICC sponsor, showed up with great enthusiasm to make sure Pantai Kelanang is clean. 🧹

This beach cleanup was especially meaningful as the whole team, including the company’s founders, took part in the cleanup! Not only that, they also made individual pledges to protect the environment and become Shoreline Heroes. We applaud their commitment to protecting our environment!

The passionate team cleared 350.3 kg of trash from Pantai Kelanang. The top three items they found were 334 pieces of other plastic bags, 277 pieces of plastic beverage bottles and 222 pieces of cigarette butts. It is a reminder that much of the waste that ends up in our oceans comes from everyday items that can be reduced, avoided or disposed of responsibly.

Thank you to the Qube Apps Solutions team for their commitment and effort to protect our marine environment 💙

Using real seagrass specimens, the students SK Kampung Baru Pasir Gogok explored seagrass morphology while learning to recognise species found in their local area. The students showed their understanding by drawing, labelling and identifying the species they had observed.

Hands-on learning continued at the school’s tank nursery, where students monitored the cultured Enhalus acoroides seedlings by measuring leaf length as an indicator of growth and recording their observations. They also carried out water quality measurements to assess the conditions supporting healthy seagrass growth.

Thank you to the volunteer representative from Pengerang Independent Terminals Sdn. Bhd. (PITSB) for participating and assisting throughout the session.

This year, we are introducing additional programmes at SMK Adela!

A Marine Ecosystem Awareness session was conducted for 36 Form 1 students, introducing them to the marine ecosystems through an engaging mix of learning and interactive activities.

The students get to play “The Ocean Heroes” game. They had to work together to answer questions, discuss marine-related scenarios, and apply what they had learned throughout the session.

The energy and teamwork shown by the students throughout the activities made the session both enjoyable and rewarding, with plenty of enthusiasm displayed from start to finish.

Special thanks to the teachers of SMK Adela and the volunteers from Pengerang Independent Terminals Sdn. Bhd. (PITSB) for their support in coordinating the session.

Persol PBS, our Bronze ICC sponsor, collected a whopping 402 cigarette butts during their beach cleanup at Pantai Kelanang.

The team worked together to clear 103 kg of trash from the beach. The other two most commonly found items were plastic or foam pieces (252 pieces) and plastic beverage bottles (210 pieces).

This was their second beach cleanup at Pantai Kelanang. This time, the team observed many plastic fragments in the mangrove areas, highlighting the important role our mangrove ecosystems play in trapping and filtering marine debris.

Kudos to the team for their hard work!
