Sabah and Sarawak cover the northern coast of the island. The lower two‐thirds of Borneo is Kalimantan, which belongs to Indonesia. The area has a fascinating history, and probably because it is on one of the main trade routes through South East Asia, Borneo has had many masters. Sabah and Sarawak were incorporated into the Federation of Malaysia in 1963 and Malaysia is now regarded a safe and orderly Islamic country. Sabah has a diverse ethnic population of just over 3 million people with 32 recognised ethnic groups. The largest of these is the Malays (these include the many different cultural groups that originally existed in their own homeland within Sabah), Chinese and “non‐official immigrants” (mainly Filipino and Indonesian). In recent centuries piracy was common here, but it is now generally considered relatively safe for cruising. However, the nearby islands of Southern Philippines have had some problems with militant fundamentalist Muslim groups – there have been riots and violence on Mindanao and the Tawi Tawi Islands and isolated episodes of kidnapping of people from Sabah in the past 10 years or so.

Surveys were carried out on several islands off Peninsular Malaysia’s East and West coast, covering both established Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) and non-protected areas, and in various parts of East Malaysia, both Sabah and Sarawak. 3. The results indicate that the Malaysian coral reefs surveyed have a relatively high level of living coral, at 40.63% (2018: 42.42%).

Survey Methodology and Sites 9 4. 2010 Survey Results and Analysis 11 5. Challenges & Recommendations 30 6. Acknowledgements 37 7. References 39 Appendix 40 CONTENTS Status of Coral Reefs in Malaysia 2010 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. A total of 93 Reef Check surveys were completed in 2010, 46 in peninsular Malaysia and 47 in East Malaysia. Although slightly fewer than 2009, the surveys are a continuation of a suc- cessful National Reef Check Survey Programme that has now run for four years. 2. The surveys were carried out by volunteers trained and certified in the global standard Reef Check method. 42 people were trained during 2010, adding to the base of volunteers who are participating in Reef Check Malaysia’s programmes. A third of trainees were upgrading their certification to Trainer level, reflecting growing interest from participants. Surveys were carried out on several islands off Peninsular Malaysia’s East coast inside established Marine Protected Areas, and in various parts of East Malaysia, both Sabah and Sarawak. 3. The results indicate that the reefs surveyed have a relatively high level of living hard coral, some 10% above the regional average. 4. The level of recently killed corals indicates continuing recovery from the 1997-8 global bleaching event that killed 10% of the world’s reefs. However, many of the surveys were car- ried out before another major bleaching event, which started early in the second half of 2010.
