semporna trip ~~ workshop day - 1st day

1st day.... the workshop was held in informal form. there's presentation from Dr. Suhaimi and also from our guest speaker, Dr. Ian Neish. Dr. Ian is from Cook Island, if am not mistaken... he's now stayed in Sulawesi Selatan, Indonesia, and he's the founder of Seaplant Foundation. He's one of the first person who came to Semporna back in 1970's and introduced seaweed to the farmers. He told us that he stayed at Pulau Sipadan at that time but he moved to Indonesia in 1990's due to Abu Sayyaf abduction.

ice-breaking session...

a bit blur... hhhmmm... where am i...?? noticed me there at the front... yup, am the chairperson........

me n Dr. Suhaimi

me and Dr. Ian

*** do you know that almost 70% O2 (oxygen) that we consume everyday is come from the sea, i.e from deep down at the bottom of the sea... seaweed, algae, seagrass etc.... so, LOVE OUR SEA...
