Efforts to destroy coral threat

PULAU TIOMAN: The crown of thorns (COT) threat on corals in Pulau Tioman is not yet serious, however, efforts have to be done to control it from harming the reefs.

In the recent “Starts in Tioman” (SIT) diving programme held in Kampong Genting, some 282 divers, both professionals and new learners, took the initiative to find and destroy the COT, apart from the beach cleaning programme.
