Bleaching, Breakdown, and Hope for Coral Reefs

What’s the state of Malaysia’s coral reefs, and what can we do to protect them?

Julian Hyde, the CEO of Reef Check Malaysia, walks us through the key findings of the Status of Coral Reefs in Malaysia 2024 report, focusing on the urgent need for sustainable management, and how protecting coral reefs is essential for Malaysia’s economy and future.
