Kota Kinabalu: The highly anticipated Asia Dive Expo (ADEX) Sabah Ocean Partnership Summit is all set to undertake an ambitious endeavour that will capture the world's attention. 

One of the event's highlights will be the groundbreaking attempt to set a new world record for the longest ghost net cleanup, aptly named "Ghost Net Hunters - 23 Hours” in waters off here, according to a statement. 

ADEX Sabah is scheduled to take place from August 18 to 20 at the Sabah International Convention Center (SICC), with the ghost net cleanup to take place on Aug 20.

This exceptional initiative falls under the ADEX Sabah corporate social responsibility program, aiming to raise awareness about the urgent need to protect and conserve Sabah's precious marine environment.

It will feature two ADEX ambassadors, Hong Kong actress Hidy Yu, and Guinness World Record Swimmer Ben Lecomte.
