They will learn the connection between the land and the sea and how what happens on land will affect the sea and subsequently the livelihoods of those that depend on the sea, be it the farmers, fisherman or the tourism industry that Langkawi depends on.
They will learn aspects of biomimicry and participate in a workshop.
