1 PLASTIC THROWN INTO OCEANS CAUSING DEATHS OF AQUATIC MAMMALS By Badrul Kamal Zakaria - October 4, 7:31am MUAR: Disposal of plastic-based solid waste into the oceans is causing the death of aquatic animals, particularly turtles and marine mammals, such as whales, dolphins and dugong. The effects of marine pollution is threatening smaller species of marine life, including fish and clams, which are among sources of protein in the human food chain. Universiti Malaysia Terengganu (UMT) Institute for Oceanography and Environment lecturer, Dr Mohd Uzair Rusli, said plastic waste usually drifted out into sea, either in physical form or smaller particles called micro plastic. These plastic-based waste was then consumed by aquatic life. If we look at the report from the Malaysian Marine Fisheries Mammals Network s National Task Force, under the Fisheries Research Institute, we will find that most autopsy conducted on marine animals found plastic in their abdomen. More worrying is the fact that the autopsies revealed plastics in physical form and not in micro plastic conditions. These plastics were found in the stomach of the animals, and it had caused their deaths, he said when contacted by the New Straits Times Press recently. Uzair, who is head of the UMT Turtle Research and Conservation Unit (Seatru), said that drifting plastic presented a huge threat to turtles, which mistook them as food. There marine animals (turtles) confuse the plastic with jellyfish, their food, and eat it. From the records of death, we found that these marine animals will experience digestive system disorders and lose their appetite. It also causes a lack of nutrition in their bodies and leads to their deaths. In addition, plastic impacts the marine animals respiratory system, especially turtles. The plastic blocks their breathing and causes death via suffocation. Asked about whether this pollution could endanger newly-hatched turtles, Uzair said he did not rule out the possibility, but added that further research needed to be done on it. The nature of turtles is that after they enter the sea, they will swim for two days without feeding. After the two days, they will begin to search for seagrass, plankton and anything floating in the water, including possibly, the floating micro plastic. He said that although there were no reports on the matter, there were scientists finding out if the micro plastic could affect newly-hatched turtles. It s just a challenge for us. Scientists do not know where these turtles are, because we classify the first two years in their lifespan as lost years. As a start, my team has been using research funds from the Fundamental Research Grant Scheme to measure the amount of energy in the bodies of newly-hatched turtles. This is to build a mathematical model involving sea currents to find areas where turtles gravitate to in its first two years. This needs to be established before we can study the effect of plastic on turtles. He did not rule out the possibility that turtle hatchlings may be vulnerable to micro plastic. He said newly-hatched turtles had limited vision, and no scientist could say with certainty that these marine creatures used their sense of smell to distinguish their food. The probability that these turtles eat micro-plastics is high because their underdeveloped body limits all their senses. He said his colleagues, who study marine pollution, had found that micro plastic were also evident in corals and sea worms. What we are worried about is that this pollution can affect the fish, which is a major source of protein for humans. There is a hypothesis that shows that chemicals found in these micro-microorganisms can cause them to contaminate the tissues in the bodies of the fish that eat them. The situation causes things, such as cancer. But efforts are being made to address this problem. Scientists from the School of Marine and Environmental Sciences at UMT are working to find marine organisms that can act as a dispersing agent for micro plastic in the bodies of marine creatures. He said he and his students were working on implementing an anti-straw usage campaign to reduce the usage of plastic materials being dumped into the sea. He said doing this may improve the underwater environment for marine life. page 1

3 KIDZLESTARI: IMPARTING SUSTAINABILITY VALUES BY POST-SCHOOLERS TO PRE-SCHOOLERS The Department of Fundamental Knowledge and Liberal Education, Center for Fundamental and Liberal Education, Universiti Malaysia Terengganu (UMT) has organized its first knowledge-transfer programme, namely KidzLestari on the issues and challenges of sustainable development through fun and creative learning activities. The programme was held in situ in three phases participated by the 5-6 years old pre-schooler children of Tadika Yayasan Islam Terengganu Cawangan, Wakaf Tembesu, Kuala Nerus and greatly supported by their teachers. The first phase kicked off with Hari Sayangi Planet Kita ( Love Our Planet s Day ) on 26th March 2018 involving a fun talk and eco-dance with the pre-schoolers on the importance of marine environment and practical ways to save it from destruction. The day concluded with a hands-on activity on the proper discard of recyclable solid wastes into the three-coloured recycling bins done by the pre-schoolers themselves under facilitation of their teachers and UMT student-facilitators. The second phase held on 7th May 2018 involving the in-classroom activity on producing classroom tools out of solid wastes like used papers and plastic bottles. Fully supervised and guided, the pre-schoolers managed to shape rolls of used paper sheets into various sizes of stationery baskets and plastic bottles into creative decorated flowerpots, much to their enjoyment to finally succeeding it at the end. The programme concluded with the KidzLestari Appreciation Day (Hari Apresiasi KidzLestari) held on 8th September 2018 to appreciate the commitment and cooperation given by the participated pre-schooler teachers in the execution of the planned activities and upon successful accomplishment of the programme s objectives. The day commenced with a special talk titled Tadika Lestari, Didik Bestari ( Sustainable Kindergarten, Nurture By Wisdom ) auspiciously imparted by the UMT sustainable economist, Mr. Mohd Azmi Bin Muhammed Idris and concluded with the presentation of appreciative certificates and memorabilia to the participants. The programme has inspired further deliberation between the department and Yayasan Islam Terengganu to formulate a specially designed KidzLestari Modules that will outline an instructional curriculum embedding sustainability concepts and values to complement the environmental educational needs of pre-schoolers of the day. page 3
4 RESEARCH COLLABORATION UMT AND DEPARTMENT OF MARINE PARK Universiti Malaysia Terengganu (UMT) and the Department of Marine Park Malaysia (DMPM) have a great relationship that is getting stronger over the years especially in research collaboration. On the 18th and 19th of April 2018, DMPM organized a research seminar themed Conserving Malaysia s National Treasure in Sungai Petani, Kedah in celebration of the International Year of the Reef This annual seminar is a platform for all researchers who received research funding from DMPM to present their findings in 8 research projects and 2 research expeditions conducted in the marine parks around Malaysia covering a few research fields. Prof. Dato Dr. Nor Aieni Haji Mokhtar, UMT Vice Chancellor was the keynote speaker of this seminar, and 6 UMT researchers also presented their findings under the 2017 funding. Dr. Rumeaida Mat Piah from the School of Fisheries and Aquaculture Sciences, presented her findings entitled Measurement of the success of No-Take Zones in Malaysia: In fish population perspective in which her team investigated whether the implementation of No-Take Zones in Malaysia since 1994 had successfully conserved various marine habitats and aquatic lives. Her team characterized and compared the characteristics of fish population in Redang Island No-take Zone and non-protected Bidong Island. This seminar was a good platform for introducing UMT s talents, and establishing research network with the counterparts from USM, UUM, UIAM, UM, UiTM and various government and non-government agencies such as the Department of Fisheries, FRIM, NAHRIM and PTNJ. page 4
5 MINI AQUACULTURE FARM 1.0 Mini Aquaculture Farm Programme 1.0 was organized by the Intelligent Graduate Students of Aquaculture Club (INTEGRA) comprising of students from the aquaculture program of the School of Fisheries and Aquaculture Sciences (PPSPA), UMT in collaboration with Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Rawang (SEMEKAR). The objective of the programme was to enlighten and develop interest in aquaculture among secondary school students. The students were exposed to a variety of information through practical activities such as hands-on artificial breeding, fish dissection, live feed and pellets identification and setting up ornamental fish aquarium under the facilitation of INTEGRA members. Both the principal of SEMEKAR, Mrs. Nurzalina Abdul Kadir and the chairman of PIBG, Mr. Mohamed Saufi Shafie have recognized the impact of this program in raising the awareness of the importance of aquaculture among students. The SEMEKAR students were not the only ones benefited from this program. The UMT students involved also had opportunity to put into practice the knowledge that they had learnt in classes, and also to improve their soft skills such as communication, teamwork and leadership, which would be essential for them in the working world after graduation. INTEGRA is planning for the second Mini Aquaculture Farm Program (MAF 2.0), this time in collaboration with Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Taman Tuanku Jaafar, in Negeri Sembilan. The target participants are the special needs students whom we hope will be able to gain practical skills that help to support themselves in the future. page 5
