Stephen Beng, Chair of the Marine Conservation Group, NSS, added that he, together with NSS Executive Committee Member Dr Hsu Chai Chi and NSS Vice President Leong Kwok Peng were very pleased to meet with the marina industry, to learn of each other’s plans and strategies and to examine ideas for collaboration to achieve agreed environmental goals. Specifi c collaborative initiatives agreed to at the meeting included enhancing information for marina users and visitors relating to local fi sh species and other marine life and more effective industry linkages across government and community environmental organisations.
