Malaysia : NGO ” Nature and Oceanography Advocate Society” frees corals from “ghost” fishing nets
In Lumut, a coastal town in the state of Perak, Malaysian Azrai created an NGO dedicated to this problem, Nature and Oceanography Advocate Society. It dives more than ten meters deep to clear fishing nets and free corals. An operation that he would like to practice more often: “There are new nets under the water, we often discover them and sometimes they are old nets”. The operation to remove this marine waste is tedious and there are sometimes not enough volunteers ready to help Azrai and its local NGO.
