Prior to the inception of the Resort in 2015, The reef was already severely damaged. This was probably due to factors caused by global warming, destructive fishing practices and also uncontrolled tourism. Shortly after the resort was built, the idea of the Alunan Coral Project was conceived. Our mission was not only to rehabilitate the coral reef, but also to involve our guests and the local community to contribute to our cause through direct participation and creating awareness through education.
In 2017, under the guidance of Dr Gerry Goeden, consulting marine biologist, we laid the foundation of the Alunan Coral Project by putting in place 5 large coral nurseries. These nurseries provide the ‘mother’ coral from which we obtain fragments to propagate the reef.
Since then, we are proud to have achieved several significant milestones, including being the pioneer resort in Malaysia to be officially recognised as an official partner in management & conservation of resources by the Malaysia Department of Fisheries (DOF). Eventually, we aim to restore other sites around Perhentian Island.
