What can we do to help the marine ecosystem?

The active action will help reduce the impact on the environment, encourage
biodiversity conservation and protect the loss of biodiversity. First, encourage
communities to promote the biodiversity of marine ecosystems. With the help of
protecting marine ecosystems, efforts can be made to educate oneself about the
importance of biodiversity in marine ecosystems. Along with the importance of
knowledge, this can be a reminder community the importance of biodiversity
ecosystems without the loss of biodiversity. Control of each development should be
sensitive to what biodiversity needs to be considered that will not be affected or lost.
With the help of advocates, learn about the methods of protect biodiversity and
conservation biologists use social media to connect experts and campaigns to educate
people and developers about the importance of biodiversity and marine ecosystems to a
country, which allows developers to consider the impact of construction on development
without the loss of biodiversity.

Restoration of habitat for marine ecosystems. Consider volunteering for

ecological restoration in environmental impact assessments. A number of associations
are collaborating on projects to restore marine systems with the promotion of
information systems to ensure the importance of protecting the oceans to find
volunteers to join the wildlife foundation, government agencies such as fish and wildlife
and environmental organizations in stocking Penang marine ecosystems. In cooperation
with communities and associations, conservation of protected areas and Marine
ecosystems will be protected from pollution.

In 2014, the Peninsular Malaysia Seas Programme (PMSeas) and the Sulu-
Sulawesi Marine Ecoregion (SSME) Programme merged into one Marine Conversation
Programme. WWF-Malaysia adopted an integrated approach towards its marine work
that focused on “transformational” strategies to bring about change needed to create
conservation impact at scale across Malaysia. By 2020, the Marine Programme aimed
to reduce threats on key conservation targets and to achieve sustainable use of marine
resources through four transformational strategies (TS):

TS1: Fisheries subsidies reform and implementation of Ecosystems Approach to

Fisheries Management (EAFM): Effective marine conservation can support food
security and sustainable livelihoods in key fisheries in Malaysia through redirecting
current investments in the fisheries sector to promote sustainable fishing by small scale
and commercial fisheries. The strategy will also look into aquaculture subsidies to
promote best practices to cater for local and international markets that demand more
sustainably farmed products.
 
TS2: Sustainable seafood through business and industry engagement: Using
business and industry engagement to transform business practices so that markets for
sustainable seafood can be sustained and production impacts can be reduced in
Malaysia. Consumers can also be assured of seafood safety through establishment of
seafood traceability.
 
TS3: Sustainable seascapes through Integrated Ocean Management
(IOM): Demonstrating the effective implementation of the Malaysian Ocean Policy
through district level comprehensive ecosystem based coastal and marine spatial
planning to produce “win-win” outcomes both conserving biodiversity and fostering
economic activities that are compatible with ocean health.
 
TS4: Phase out licensed turtle egg collection, working towards a federal ban on
egg trade: Conservation of endangered turtle species population within priority sites
through the phase out of licensed turtle egg collection and working towards a national
ban in egg possession.
 
In 2017, the Marine Programme transitioned into Phase II, focusing on three strategies
towards sustainable use of marine resources, protecting important and threatened
marine habitats including coral reefs and mangroves; as well as saving endangered
species.
