NEW ACT PROJECTS FOR 2011
During the months of January and February 2011, our exploration vessel Pangaea will be back around Borneo in Malaysia where we hope to set up the future Borneo Pangaea Center. This first stage only represents the beginning of an incredible and longterm adventure in this special and unique region as we are planning to develop our presence and Act Projects in that region.
The Special Pangaea Act Project events in Borneo during January and February 2011 will integrate all components of the Pangaea Program: Explore, Learn and Act – A unique occasion to further our exploration of the area and investigate potential future projects as well as promising interesting locations. We have longterm projects in mind, but these will require considerable time and financial investment and will hopefully be implemented during 2011 and beyond. We are likely to conduct the following Act projects during the upcoming Borneo events (list subject to change without prior notice) in January and February 2011:
– Exploration of potential sites for the potential future Pangaea Center
– Island / beach cleanups
– Setting mooring buoys
– Coral reef surveys and monitoring
– On-site in situ construction of artificial reefs for coral growth
– Visiting schools and local communities to present the project
