Wastewater Management Study and Sustainable Tourism on Pulau Perhentian Islands

This project supported recycling efforts on Perhentian island and collected 1,300 Kgs of waste on land and underwater. The team also collected water quality samples around the island to build a proposal for helping resorts reduce their sewerage issues. In addition, they played a key role in establishing a new recycling and monitoring system. The team also worked to strengthen the capacity of local tourism players through increased diving skills, health and safety training, improved facilities and educational outreach programmes. These efforts provide a stronger foundation for sustainable tourism practices and empower the local community. To strengthen local participation in biodiversity conservation, the team tracked foraging turtles and produced an ethical sea turtle-watching guide, providing valuable education to the next generation of ocean stewards.
