Eight mooring buoys were installed at multiple sites around Pulau Hujung, Pulau Besar and Pulau Sibu in collaboration with the Johor’s Department of Fisheries (DoF), Mersing Tourism Association, Mersing boat operators and Mersing islands communities. The mooring buoys will help reduce the impact of anchoring on coral reefs as it provides facilities for boat operators to carry out snorkelling activities safely.

Since its launch in August 2022, Pulau Sibu’s Rumah Kitar Semula (RKS) has collected a total of 466kg of recyclable materials consisting of glass bottles, plastic bottles, and aluminum tins.

Currently, there are seven recycling bins placed throughout the village and three more bins are under construction to meet the needs of the island community. We are looking forward to collaborating with the island’s resort operators in the future for this initiative.
