Sabah conservation group urges action over damage to coral reef in Mabul Island


KOTA KINABALU: The Sabah government must act if there was any "recklessness" detected on the part of a contractor whose barge damaged coral reefs at a popular dive spot at Pulau Mabul in Sabah.

Sabah Environmental Protection Association (Sepa) president Alexander Yee said that the contractor carrying out shoreline development was subject to the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) to observe and mitigate any adverse impact within a 200m radius of the project.
