For more
than 25 years, Reef Seen has been committed to protecting and
preserving Pemuteran's sea, and the marine life that lies beneath,
subsequently helping to develop the local marine tourism, creating new
business and employment opportunities for the Village of Pemuteran. The
success of our efforts in preserving and protecting Pemuteran's
marine assets is the main reason behind our initial "Reef Seen
Conservation
Week". Sharing our knowledge and experiences we highlight some of
the work done in our continuing efforts as the pioneers of marine
conservation in Pemuteran. The occasion was also a time for us to meet up with the other marine environment communities
in Pemuteran. Reef Seen organised several events to have a beneficial value to all participants; such as releasing sea turtle hatchlings by groups of
Pemuteran students, group discussions, and an underwater clean-up (crown
of thorns starfish and drupella removal) during the six days event.
RSWC 2017 is from Pemuteran for Pemuteran, organized and driven by the Reef Seen staff, the majority of who are from Pemuteran)
