Our first field trip in photos!

Miri's coast!
Arriving in Borneo. The extent of land development and deforestation can be clearly seen.
Lutong beach. The restaurant there served the best Laksa we have ever eaten!
Trip to the Lambir National Park. Didn't get to see the monkeys but could hear them in the chaos of bird noises
Sarawak's trademark! The Hornbill!

Organizing the loads of tools that would help us for our underwater surveys.

The marina from where we started our journey to the reefs every day!
First day! The team arrives!

First day came to its end. And whats better than staring at a beautiful sunset?


Next day. Setting up the Nephelometer (to measure turbidity levels).

Interviewing the researchers for the youtube videos. Watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p03aC1icOOc

Bringing equipment to the boat.

Sonar equipment for mapping the bottom surface.

Introducing and distributing tasks.
Our last week. Deploying light loggers at Eve's Garden under high turbidity conditions. A challenging dive (felt like being in a washing machine) but all came up safe and sound!

Stormy weather coming so we had to abandon our dive. Shows the start of the Northeast monsoon period.

Some of our coral cores! EG means Eve's Garden.

Borneo Post published an article about the Baram Project including our reef project!

Toast to our last dive and the wonderful reefs of Miri!
Mission accomplished!
