Penang plants 1,000 saplings at Tanjung Tokong seafront

THE Penang Government’s mangrove project at the Gurney Drive seafront kicked into high gear over the weekend, with some 1,000 saplings planted off the Marina Bay condominiums near Tanjung Tokong.

Tanjung Bungah assemblyman Teh Yee Cheu, who headed the planting, said it was part of the state’s long-term effort to plant 10,000 mangrove trees at the seafront this year.
