Coral Propagation Project (Semporna)

A pioneer project in Malaysia in the commercialization of cultured live corals to meet the increasing demand for marine ornamentals worldwide, this technique of culturing corals has been proven successful in supplying hard and soft corals. The advantages of cultured corals are that they adapt better to aquarium conditions than wild corals and also satisfy the requirements of CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora). This project will include services in the rehabilitation of destroyed coral reef in order to preserve the coastal ecosystems.

Seaweed Cultivation Project (Semporna)

This project undertakes seaweed (euchuema cottonii) cultivation and trading activities. Seaweed is a source of raw material for processing of carrageenan which has broad based applications in both food and non-food industries. It is an alternative to animal- based gelatin in food industries used as enhancer, emulsifier, gelling, thickening, binding and stabilizing agent and also in non- food application such as dentifrice, pharmacology and industrial products.
