PLANS are in the pipeline to create more artificial reefs as new habitats for marine life in a move to reverse adverse bleaching of the country’s coral reefs.

Deputy Natural Resources and Environment Minister Datuk Hamim Samuri said the Government had also invested about RM1.55mil in a conservation project to rebuild dying reefs through seeding initiatives and monitoring of marine parks to preserve the fragile underwater ecosystem.
