About Ocean Quest
Founded in Malaysia in 2010 by Anuar, Ocean Quest Global is an environmental organisation at work in seven countries through Southeast Asia and the Indian Ocean.
Through its programs and courses dedicated to securing a sustainable future for coral reefs, the organization focuses on giving back to local communities and protecting the marine environment.
Since February 2016, through a partnership with Sea Shepherd Global, its courses in coral rehabilitation are also offered through Sea Shepherd partner dive centers.
Our mission
Coral reef protection and rehabilitation, through the scientifically proven methodology of Ocean Quest Global, is a cost effective and easy-to-implement way to rehabilitate coral reefs, where coral is declining due to various factors of natural and man-made threats.
The importance of healthy coral reefs to their surrounding communities cannot be understated, they not only provide them with food and revenue (through fisheries and tourism), but also stave off coastal erosion, thereby safeguarding land property from damage and reducing the risk of population displacement.
