Tak Kenal Maka Tak Cinta Ep 13: Mersing & Pulau Sibu

Tak Kenal Maka Tak Cinta Ep 13: Mersing & Pulau Sibu

Tak Kenal Maka Tak Cinta is our ongoing tourism-themed series on Earth Matters, which aims to highlight lesser-known ecotourism spots right here in Malaysia. Through the series, we want to take you back to the great outdoors, and experience the many off-the-beaten-track nature spots our country has to offer. This month, we speak to Dr Louisa Ponnampalam, the Chairperson of the MareCet Research Organisation about ecotourism opportunities in Mersing, Johor, and the islands nearby, specifically two tours that the group organises under their Marine Excursions & The Blue Classroom program, which are the Mersing Junior Marine Explorer and Pulau Sibu Marine Explorer. Find out more about opportunities to see mangroves, seagrass patches in an intertidal zone, dramatic rock formations, and also chances to go snorkelling dugong watching!
