Clear water, a drive up the coast from Johor Bahru or Singapore and then 20 minutes by boat from Mersing 🐠
This is our water on an ordinary day, no filters used.
A study published in June in the ECNU Review of Education followed kindergarten children in Norway on regular visits to the shore near their schools. They felt the seawater and looked at what the tide had left behind, and their teachers talked it through with them. Over the weeks the researchers saw the children start to care about the sea and what lives in it.
We see something similar when children come back from their first snorkel here, or after watching a turtle release with the TIC team. You don't have to go far to build that love.
