Sarawak monitors seas for red tides

MIRI: The state environment and fisheries authorities are monitoring the seas off northern Sarawak for possible appearance of the “red-tide” phenomenon following reports that waters in the southern parts of Brunei have been affected by the toxic algae. 

Local fishermen are also on the alert and fishing vessels have been told to contact the authorities if they come across any signs of contamination in Sarawak waters.
