THE Perak government should expedite plans to gazette the turtle-landing site in Segari, Manjung as a protected area, environmentalists say.

Non-governmental organisation Sahabat Alam Malaysia (SAM) field officer Meor Razak Meor Abdul Rahman said environmental groups have been pushing for the coastal area from Pantai Pasir Panjang to Tanjung Hantu – the main turtle-landing site in Perak – to be gazetted since 2013.
