755kg of ghost nets removed 👻
Garmin Malaysia and Reef Check Malaysia joined forces to protect Malaysia’s marine ecosystems, removing an impressive 755kg of ghost nets—far surpassing their initial 100kg target!
This initiative, conducted across Pulau Besar, Pulau Aur, and other islands, empowered local communities through specialized training for underwater cleanups. The nets were also upcycled into stylish clutches, thanks to a collaboration with The Sea Monkey Project. This initiative not only protects marine ecosystems but also fosters community awareness and innovation.
We are so proud of this team! Stay up to date by following @reefcheckmalaysia

Swipe to see side-by-side kelp forest revival 2022-2024 😍
Kelp forests are essential marine ecosystems, but along the West Coast, they’ve faced devastation from extreme warm-water events and exploding purple urchin populations. Over the years, Reef Check, alongside local communities and commercial divers, targeted urchin removal in Big Sur to save these underwater forests.
💡The Impact
At one site where urchin densities exceeded 26 per square meter, divers reduced this to just 4–5. The results were astounding: bull kelp densities skyrocketed from near zero in 2022 to rivaling healthy forests by 2024.
This success shows early intervention can reverse damage. With continued efforts, we can protect remaining kelp forests and revive lost ones, supporting the survival of marine life depending on these vital habitats.
