Episode 3 - Championing Coral Reef Conservation on the Frontlines | Anuar Abdullah

In the 3rd episode of the SANUSPLANET Podcast, I wanted to share something really amazing with you. Something very close to my heart. As I myself am a coral propagation trainer, I was allowed to learn and to teach, how to plant corals. YES, you can plant corals! Isn't that fantastic? As corals are the source of life, we all rely on coral reefs. In this episode you'll find out a lot about coral propagation and the importance of corals. Get to know Anuar Abdullah, the founder of the marine conservation organization Ocean Quest and his beautiful work. Anuar is a marine scientist, an ecologist who loves this planet. He teaches many divers, scientists and even tourists on how to rebuild a reef, that is about to die. Founded in Malaysia in August 2010, Ocean Quest is the only Malaysian-based marine conservation organization that is functional internationally. Since its founding, Ocean Quest rapidly expanded from SE Asia to becoming global in 2017. Through thorough research Ocean Quest created its own techniques, methodology and material for coral reef rehabilitation. The Ocean Quest techniques are taught through a simplified education system that allows the public to take part in coral reef rehabilitation. Advocacy and awareness are also integrated in the education system. The most visible role of Ocean Quest in coral conservation is its ability to take direct action without delay. One important factor to achieve its goals is to engage the local community on any site coral reef rehabilitation is active. Registered as a social enterprise the outcome of the efforts of Ocean Quest are shown in how much it is able to give back to the community and the environment.
