Cintai Redang Updates:
October – December 2025
Reef Rehabilitation Efforts
Our team recently partnered with TNB once again as part of their CSR programme to restore some of the damaged reef areas in Redang. This 2 day-initiative in Tanjung Ara 50 involved TNB staff and was led by Asma from RCM as well as assisted by 4 RMCG members. 5 reef rehabilitation structures with 100+ coral fragments were deployed in the area.

Expansion of Surveys
A team of 1 RCM Redang staff and 4 RMCG members recently conducted biodiversity surveys in the Kuala Kemaman area, with the main aim of collecting data on the biodiversity found in the area. As this was our first time conducting surveys in the area, our team selected two sites for the surveys which was able to be completed in one day. We will be conducting similar surveys in the future.

Skills Training for Local Islanders
In early October, our colleagues conducted an Eco-Friendly Snorkel Guide (EFSG) and Emergency First Response (EFR) training for 8 snorkel guides who are based in Redang Island. The main aim of the EFSG training is to introduce the guides to a standard of snorkel guiding that will minimise damage to the marine environment while providing an enjoyable experience for snorkelers. Besides the EFSG training, the participants were also equipped with a 4-day training to become certified emergency first responders, which increases their knowledge and allows them to provide a more valuable and safer experience for their customers.
