- CSE supported marine ecosystem rehabilitation and coral reef cleanup activity to remove nets and restore the reefs. More than 550 kilograms of floating seine have been collected by scuba diving volunteers. The nets found were covering over 600 square meters of the reefs at 5 – 15 meters deep which damaged almost 80% of them. The amount of filamentous algae was observed on the nets found that some of the net were already covered with corals. It is estimated that the nets had been covered more for more than a month. Branching coral and Cauliflower Coral were destroyed and only some part of them can be rehabilitated. Moreover, Padina australis began to occupy over the reef which must be hastily followed up and inspected.
