MARINE SCIENCE UNIB |  On Wednesday, January 26, 2022, the Marine Science Study Program of Bengkulu University and the Akar Foundation conducted a Memorandum of Agreement in the Meeting Room of the Marine Science Study Program, Bengkulu University.

Where the issue to be raised is about Octopuses in Kaur County. This is very welcomed by the Marine Science Study Program through the Coordinator of the Marine Science Study Program, Mr. Ir. Zamdial, M.Si.
