Exciting News from the International Blue Carbon Institute. 🌊
We’re thrilled to announce that Associate Professor Dr. Sazlina Salleh from Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) has been selected as the second IBCI Fellow. 🎉
Dr. Sazlina currently researches the impacts of climate change and human activities on coastal and marine ecosystems in Malaysia, with a particular focus on seagrass conservation, urban blue carbon, and strengthening the science-policy interface for coastal management. Her project as an IBCI Fellow, PULSE (Penang’s Urban Living Seascapes Ecosystems: A Science-Policy Framework for Sustainable Blue Carbon Management), will focus on understanding and protecting urban seagrass ecosystems in Penang, Malaysia, which are increasingly threatened by coastal reclamation, pollution, and rapid urban development.
Through ecological assessments, blue carbon analysis, policy research, and community engagement, the project aims to strengthen evidence-informed coastal decision-making and support greater conservation and sustainable management of urban seagrass ecosystems.
Blue carbon ecosystems, including mangroves, seagrasses, kelp, and salt marshes, are among the most carbon-rich ecosystems on Earth and vital to biodiversity, livelihoods, shoreline protection, and climate mitigation. Yet they continue to face significant threats from degradation, pollution, and habitat loss.
“Seagrass ecosystems in urban coastal areas like Penang are often overlooked, but they are important for blue carbon, coastal resilience and marine biodiversity,’’ explained Dr. Sazlina, “through the PULSE project and partnership with IBCI, I hope to help make these habitats more visible in coastal planning and better protected for the future.”
This Fellowship is part of IBCI’s ongoing mission to support blue carbon science, strengthening capacity, and supporting practical, locally driven solutions for coastal conservation and resilience.
Congratulations, Dr. Sazlina. We look forward to supporting this important work and seeing its impact in Malaysia and beyond.
