THE Sungai Pulai estuary in southern Johor reveals a hidden underwater realm as the tide recedes. The seagrass beds, usually submerged, become visible in the shallow pools of water.

Lim likens the scene to the mythical city of Atlantis rising from the depths. The group proceeds in a single file, their eyes scanning the calm, shallow pools where seagrass sways gently.

This expedition underscores their commitment to understanding and preserving these unique marine inhabitants.
