PETALING JAYA: The Sabah state government has been urged to review the 1983 decision to gazette a huge area of mangrove forest in Pitas, Sabah, for aquacultural development.
Malaysian Nature Society (MNS) Sabah-based council member S.M. Muthu said this review was important as scientists had affirmed the crucial role of mangrove forests in protecting coastlines against strong winds and waves.
