Reef Spawn: Broadcasting Marine Environmental Education in Malaysia and Beyond
The project is a youth capacity development program. Through four practitioner-led virtual sessions followed by a three-day, two-night hands-on bootcamp, Reef Spawn will equip 12 budding conservationists with the knowledge and skills necessary to contribute to the marine environment in Malaysia.
The 12 selected participants will be expected to broadcast the lessons learned and empower other youths in their communities to champion the marine environment.
Aside from students in marine biology or environmental science, we hope to encourage more youths from a non-science background to apply. The marine environment is threatened today more than ever before so until we get everyone involved, there can be no progress.

Nature based learning, schools, camps, after school programs and other educational programs that integrate significant time spent in nature into the curriculum are becoming more popular.
According to the North American Association for Environmental Education, in the past three years, the number of nature-based preschools, forest kindergartens, and outdoor preschools have doubled in the United States. We’re also seeing this trend in Iowa with a number of new nature based schools opening in the past few years and planning to open soon.
