“For countless generations the oceans have been the source of livelihood for many civilisations around the world, and it is a travesty that they are not being looked after as they should. Fish For The Future aims to preserve the health of the oceans. Our programme takes into account the ocean’s interconnectedness with other surrounding ecosystems, and the impact that each makes on the other, specifically humans on the marine environment and wildlife. With all our efforts and initiatives, we hope that future generations will be able to reap the benefits of all that has been sown.”

"Cetaceans are some of Langkawi’s lesser known wildlife gems, yet play such an important role in keeping the health balance of the marine environment; serving as sentinels of the sea’s health. Partnering with The Datai Pledge will help us keep our conservation projects going during these tough times. The funds will enable us to keep researching the cetaceans and conduct outreach activities with schools and the local communities for our flagship research project in Langkawi. Additionally, the research trips with guests will help us monitor the dolphins, especially when we are unable to be in the field for a full survey. The Datai Pledge partnership is a wonderful opportunity for MareCet to share its knowledge and conservation passion about marine mammals with guests, and to be able to inspire children to be ocean stewards."

"The Datai Pledge has raised the importance of protecting marine biodiversity amongst the local community. The Artificial Reefs provide a rich habitat to a wealth of marine life and are also a source for sustainable fishing. We hope our combined efforts will continue to benefit the coastal fishermen and create a sustainable ecosystem."
