The 6 local youths who are members of the Redang Marine Conservation Group (RMCG) were recently trained as Open-Water (OA) divers. This dive course was sponsored by RCM, as the team will be busy with many dive-related day-to-day tasks. We will slowly be equipping the team with necessary skills that will be beneficial for them and the work that they will be undertaking around their own island.
The team also conducted ghost nets removal around the island, collecting approximately 230kg of nets in a span of just over a month. This was done in collaboration with the Department of Fisheries (DoF).
