🌊 【From Shore to Sea: Life, Water & Our Shared Responsibility】
Water connects every part of life — from the rivers that nourish our communities to the oceans that sustain ecosystems beyond what we can see. But today, our waters are facing increasing pressure from pollution, climate change, and human activities.
Join us for a meaningful sharing session exploring our relationship with water, the fragile balance of marine ecosystems, and the urgent need for collective action to protect our rivers, coastlines, and seas. Through science, research, policy, conservation, and on-ground experiences, this forum brings together voices dedicated to restoring and safeguarding our water systems for future generations.

🌊 Dr. Shamila binti Azman
Senior Lecturer and researcher from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), specializing in environmental chemistry, water restoration, marine ecosystems, microplastics research, and sustainable water management solutions.

✨ Because protecting water means protecting life itself.
