Semporna, Sabah, May 3 - A delegation from I-AQUAS, led by Prof. Dr. Muta Harah Zakaria and Dr. Nur Leena Wong Wai Sin, recently visited the Women’s Association of Omadal (WAPO) on Omadal Island. The purpose of this visit was to provide guidance and exchange ideas regarding seaweed cultivation activities in the area.
This project is expected to contribute to the local economy by empowering women within the community. Seaweed cultivation represents a promising endeavor that can benefit the local population, particularly in terms of economic development and environmental sustainability.
