Reef Ball project to protect
turtles
KUCHING, WED. Special 'mines' will be strewn at random on the sea
floor around Talang-Talang and Satang Islands to deter fishing trawlers
from practising illegal trawling activity there.
These environmental-friendly and non-toxic "Reef Balls" are part of the
measures adopted by the State government to give some protection to
the turtles around the Islands, said Environment and Public Health
Minister Datuk Amar James Wong Kim Min.
