MIRI: Sarawak wants to create another 3,000 artificial reefs in 100 different spots on the seabed in the South China Sea off the state’s 1,000km-long shorelines.

These reefs will have the dual purpose of functioning as diving havens and also as places to facilitate the multiplication of fish population for the deepsea fishing industry.
