Research and education
Although Malaysia is a maritime nation, marine science is a relatively new field in the country. A number of marine scientists from institutions such as the universities, Fisheries Research Institute, Royal Malaysian Navy, Malaysian Institute for maritime affairs, Department of Environment, as well as oil companies, are engaged in research on an individual basis, but no national body exists to coordinate marine science research. Marine science education also remains in its infancy although, increasingly, efforts are being made to educate Malaysians on the importance of their heritage.
