At sea, observations of marine life can range from small organisms such as sponges to large marine animals such as sharks and whales. A lot of marine life can be seen on the coral reefs or around platforms. Scuba diving and sometimes snorkelling is the best way to observe this habitat. Observing large animals that roam the sea requires an aircraft or a boat. Systematic observations require a network of interested individuals who regularly go offshore, e.g. divers, fishermen, helicopter pilots. Such a network was set up by the PNHS in 1989 (called the Seawatch project) and is continued by the Natural History Section of the Brunei Museum. For those who do not dive or do not go offshore, marine animals are irregularly found stranded on our beaches.
