Established in 2012 and run by a team of passionate researcher-conservationists, MareCet is Malaysia's first and only non-profit NGO that is dedicated to the research and conservation of marine mammals in Malaysia. A bulk of their work focuses on increasing scientific knowledge through research, they are also keen to educate and transfer knowledge to us all, to create positive impact and change. Some of their ways of doing that is through their marine education and excursion programs, where we get to experience their field sites, in a fun way. Today on the show, we want to find out more about these Marine Excursions & The Blue Classroom by MareCet, and helping us to do that are Dr Louisa Ponnampalam, the Chairperson of the MareCet Research Organisation, and Kimberly Wong, the Marine Excursions Coordinator, also with MareCet.
