tracc (Tropical Research & Conservation Centre)

The Tropical Research And Conservation Centre (or TRACC), is a marine conservation organization based in the Celebes Sea dedicated to protecting sea turtles and restoring coral reefs destroyed by the local fish bombing practices of Malaysia. TRACC develops and executes numerous projects involved with marine conservation, notably that of coral reef restoration. TRACC has planted over 75000 coral fragments over a course of 6 years, drastically improving the destroyed reefs of Pom Pom Island, employing numerous methods along the way. TRACC works together with volunteers from all over the world to turn these projects into a reality. TRACC has a number of other projects ranging from invertebrates all the way to marine reptiles and megafaunas. Community development and resilience programs have been established on nearby islands to create marine aware communities. As the current state in Borneo nears critical and pivotal years, the work being conducted needs environmentally aware individuals with a genuine love and passion for the world’s oceans. Let us, as a society of people who love, depend and rely on the oceans come together for the protection and conservation of the world beneath the waves.
