Conservation and protecting sea turtles in their habitats
Human activities have endangered the lives of sea turtles; without us disrupting their habitats, they have an average lifespan of 100 years. To play our part in conserving marine biodiversity, we have developed a 5-year marine biodiversity conservation program via a strategic collaboration between the Sea Turtle Research Unit (SEATRU) of University Malaysia Terengganu (UMT) and our Port Management and Maritime Services subsidiaries, MMS, focusing on conserving and protecting the sea turtles.
Over the years, UMT-SEATRU has developed strong partnerships with relevant governmental bodies, NGOs, and research institutions from around the globe that share the same passion for sea turtle conservation.
Our aim is to contribute to the protection and preservation of sea turtles through collaboration with UMT-SEATRU and a sustainable and strategic application of the Centre of Excellence (COE) module for the conservation of sea turtles locally and globally. MMS is supporting the development of the UMT-SEATRU Centre of Excellence on sea turtle conservation.
