MRPO is preparing the Submerged Ecosystems Recovery Mission, a World Turtle Day ghost gear recovery expedition focused on protecting Cambodia's marine habitats and wildlife.

The mission is designed as a professionally managed conservation field activity rather than a recreational dive event. It will support technical ghost gear recovery, marine species protection, coral reef safety, and community conservation engagement across the Koh Rong Archipelago and Koh Sdach Archipelago.
