KUALA LUMPUR: Some fishermen are still using cyanide in parts of Malaysia’s coral “Golden Triangle”, which has been recognised as having richer marine biodiversity than the Great Barrier Reef.

The Science, Technology and Innovation Ministry said it was concerned that if these fishermen continued to resort to such dangerous methods, it could cause long-term damage to its fragile ecosystem.
