16 September 2026 – a delegation comprising five representatives from the Pearl River Fishery Research Institute (PRFRI), Guangzhou, China, visited Setiu Wetlands State Park, Terengganu.
The delegation was accompanied by the Dean of the Faculty of Fisheries and Aquaculture Sciences (FSPA), Universiti Malaysia Terengganu (UMT). The visit provided an opportunity for the PRFRI delegation to gain first-hand exposure to the wetland ecosystem, biodiversity, and the management of fisheries and environmental resources within the Setiu Wetlands area.
The visit was organised as part of the programme associated with the Letter of Intent (LOI) signing ceremony between PRFRI and UMT. The proposed collaboration is expected to strengthen institutional ties and explore opportunities for cooperation in research, education, fisheries, aquaculture, and aquatic resource conservation between the two institutions.
The visit also served as a platform for both parties to exchange knowledge and expertise, as well as to identify potential areas for strategic collaboration that could contribute to the advancement of fisheries and aquaculture science in the future
