Editorial & rights policy
An independent educational prototype. The Malay kelong of the Riau Islands is the primary subject; global resources serve as comparative learning materials. Not an official representation of UNESCO, NOAA, FAO or government agencies.

- Original educational explanations are editorial drafts with per-article sources.
- Third-party materials are linked, not bulk copied or silently republished.
- Kelong 1.jpg by Nicolas Lannuzel from Bintan carries CC BY-SA 2.0 with credit and licence links where used.
- Smithsonian items are considered CC0 only if the individual object is explicitly designated CC0.
- OBIS requires provider attribution, and licences may vary by dataset.
- NOAA VR depicts US locations and serves comparative learning only.
- The site adds no login, analytics cookies, personal forms or intentional personal-data collection; provider privacy policies apply when leaving KELONG.
- Community stories, portraits and knowledge require consent and review before publication.
- External links may change. A verified_page flag indicates a source page was read, not certification of all its content.
Educational draft: initial reading does not replace academic and community review.
