Assoc. Prof. EUR. ING. Ts. Ir. Dr. Syuhaida Ismail, Director of Research (DOR), along with Dr. Muhammad Nur Arif Othman, Senior Researcher from the Centre for Coastal and Marine Environment Research (CMER) conducted data collection activities at the Johor Port Authority (LPJ) and a mussel farm in the Johor Strait for two projects titled Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Practices within the Port Industry and The Impact of Port Activities on the Aquaculture Industry in Malaysia on 24 and 25 February 2025.

Accompanying them were Mr. Muhammad Fadhli Abdul Harris, a Researcher from the Centre for Maritime Economics and Industries (MEI), and Mr. Muhammad Hazim bin Zaidi, who served as the project secretariat.

The first project aimed to assess the level of awareness and implementation of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices at the Johor Port Authority. This involved conducting surveys and interviews to evaluate the staff’s understanding and participation in ESG initiatives.

The second project focused on examining the impact of port activities on the aquaculture industry, particularly in terms of marine pollution, vessel movement, and water quality changes affecting mussel farming operations.

As part of the ongoing plan, data collection will be expanded to other ports and aquaculture farms to obtain comprehensive and reliable results.

Dr. Muhammad Nur Arif Othman, Senior Researcher at the Centre for Coastal Marine and Environment (CMER), led a roundtable discussion (RTD) with representatives from selected pilot ports, namely the Kuantan Port Authority and Kemaman Port Authority. The RTD was held in Kuala Terengganu on 27–28 February 2025.

Dr. Arif was joined by CMER Researchers, Mr. Aiman Hisyam Azmi and Ms. Thaarshini Paramasivan, along with two Research Assistants, Ms. Nur Sabrina Razalini and Ms. Nur Nadia Farahani Kamarul Bahman. The Kuantan Port Authority and Kemaman Port Authority teams were led by Ts. Muhamad Syahmi Bin Sulaiman and Mr. Ikhwan Shafiq Zainal Abdin, respectively. Key stakeholders, including representatives from the Department of Fisheries (DOF), the Department of Environment, and the Kuantan and Kemaman Ports Consortium, also participated in the discussion.

The primary objective of the RTD was to critically review the GEF-8 CHILD project proposal, ensuring that all relevant information was incorporated and validated. The discussion also served as a platform to identify existing and potential challenges in implementing the GEF-8 project within port limits. Through in-depth discussions, participants successfully formulated comprehensive solutions and strategic plans to ensure the project's smooth and effective execution.

GEF-8 is one of MIMA’s flagship projects, with its implementation phase set to begin in August 2025. The project will adopt nature-based solutions to enhance marine biodiversity and mitigate coastal erosion caused by port development.
