Garmin Malaysia has successfully concluded its partnership with Reef Check Malaysia, aimed at removing ghost nets from Malaysian waters with the assistance of local communities.

佳明馬來西亞成功結束與馬來西亞珊瑚礁檢查的合作，旨在在當地社區的幫助下從馬來西亞沃特世清除鬼網。這項於2024年3月至9月期間進行的倡議，成功清除755公斤鬼網，顯著超出最初100公斤的目標。
As part of this initiative, Garmin pledged RM100 for every kilogram of ghost nets collected, aiming to raise a total of RM10,000. The dedication of Reef Check Malaysia and the involvement of local communities on islands such as Pulau Besar, Pulau Aur, Pulau Pemanggil, Pulau Sibu, and Pulau Tinggi were crucial to this success.Sheena Sim, Marketing Lead at Garmin Malaysia, stated, "Garmin has always been committed to sustainability... Through this collaboration, we aim to not only support crucial conservation efforts but also to inspire our community to engage in practices that safeguard our environment for future generations."
作爲這項倡議的一部分，佳明承諾每收集一公斤鬼網捐贈100令吉，目標是籌集總共10,000令吉。馬來西亞珊瑚礁檢查的奉獻精神及當地社區在如布沙島、奧爾島、佩曼吉爾島、希布島和丁基島等島嶼的參與對這一成功至關重要。佳明馬來西亞市場負責人Sheena Sim表示，"佳明一直致力於可持續發展……通過這次合作，我們不僅希望支持重要的保護工作，還希望激勵我們的社區參與保護環境的實踐，以保護我們後代的環境。"
Reef Check Malaysia trained 10 local islanders to conduct underwater clean-ups, empowering the community to actively participate in marine conservation and raising awareness about marine ecosystems.Julian Hyde, CEO of Reef Check Malaysia, remarked, "The collaboration with Garmin Malaysia brings funding to the island teams... This enhances the effect that our small team can have in dealing with multiple marine conservation problems – not just ghost nets, but other challenges."
馬來西亞珊瑚礁檢查培訓了10名當地島民進行海底清理，賦予社區積極參與海洋保護的能力，並提高對海洋生態系統的認識。馬來西亞珊瑚礁檢查首席執行官Julian Hyde表示，"與佳明馬來西亞的合作爲島嶼團隊帶來資金……這增強了我們小團隊在應對多個海洋保護問題時的效果——不僅是鬼網，還有其他挑戰。"
In addition to removing ghost nets, Garmin upcycled the collected materials into functional products such as a sleek clutch in partnership with The Sea Monkey Project. This approach exemplifies Garmin's holistic strategy towards sustainability by transforming ocean waste into valuable items.Carlos Steenland, Co-Founder of The Sea Monkey Project, expressed excitement about collaborating with a global brand like Garmin to scale up efforts for positive social and environmental impacts.
除了移除幽靈網，佳明還將收集到的材料升級爲功能性產品，比如與Sea Monkey Project合作的時尚手拿包。這種方法展現了佳明對可持續發展的總體策略，通過將海洋垃圾轉化爲有價值的物品。Sea Monkey Project的聯合創始人Carlos Steenland對能夠與像佳明這樣的全球品牌合作，擴大積極的社會和環保影響表示興奮。
As the partnership concludes, both Garmin Malaysia and Reef Check Malaysia are optimistic about future collaborations to contribute further to the health and sustainability of Malaysia's marine ecosystems. Sheena Sim noted, "We're optimistic that this is just the beginning... Our goal is to continue contributing to the protection of Malaysia's marine ecosystems."
隨着合作的結束，佳明馬來西亞和馬來西亞珊瑚礁檢查對未來的合作持樂觀態度，以進一步促進馬來西亞海洋生態系統的健康和可持續性。Sheena Sim表示：「我們樂觀地認爲這只是一個開始……我們的目標是繼續爲保護馬來西亞的海洋生態系統做貢獻。」
