Speed up marine park gazetting, urges WWF


KOTA KINABALU: The proposed one-million hectare Tun Mustapha Marine Park (TMP) in northern Sabah should be gazetted soon because bad fishing practices could lead to the disappearance of popular seafood like groupers and snappers, said WWF Malaysia.

Its executive director Datuk Dr Dionysius Sharma said quick gazetting of the proposed park would help Malaysia meet global ocean protection targets.
