Tidak akan ada pelaut yang hebat,
Tanpa adanya ombak yang besar.
There will be no great sailors,
Without big waves.
MaReLand
MaReLand is the acronym of the EU-funded project “Malaysian Reclaimed Landscapes: Urbanization, Heritage, and Sustainability along the Littoral” hosted by Palacký University Olomouc (Czech Republic). The acronym MaReLand itself challenges sharp divides such as land/sea, nature/society, or cultural/natural and tangible/intangible heritage. It ties together two words, commonly understood as distinct “worlds”: the Latin word for sea, mare, and the English word land.

The website sets to be a free networking platform bringing together researchers, activists, and sea aficionados interested in land reclamation processes. It is a place where everybody can share stories from the field, ideas, findings, perspectives, and ongoing activities on related topics in Malaysia, the broader Asian region, and beyond. The Reclamations blog also provides a space where to quickly publish beyond academic venues.
