They are looking to partner with CEMACS to Introduce Marine Science their student tour and exchange program. Iff all works out well, they will run a Marine Science camp right at CEMACS where people will get to experinece and learn abaout marine and coastal ecology. Hopefully, at some point, we can bring many students to benefit from the learning they can get at this place.

Prof. Aileen showing the phyto-plankton cultures used to feed the oysters. The oysters culture work has resulted in helping to increase the income of farming communities around the coastal region. Apparently, Penang is the largest oyster producing state in Malaysia.
