Malaysia is a beautiful country situated in the Coral Triangle; an area which has the richest marine biodiversity in the world. In fact, its waters are teeming with a healthy variety of over 2000 species of marine life. Also, the seas surrounding the country are a major contributor to Malaysia's economy whether it be in the fishing or tourism industry.
All these factors have led to various efforts to conserve the marine environment in Malaysia from Cherating all the way to Sabah. While a lot has been done for marine conservation in the region, the government and other parties, including Club Med continue to do their part to protect the local environment.
