KOTA KINABALU: An initiative by Sabah Parks to restore coral reefs destroyed by Typhoon Greg in 1996 has yielded positive results more than a decade since its implementation.

In 2005, Sabah Parks came up with the idea to plant 200 reef balls weighing 540 tonnes at the Mid Reef area, off Pulau Manukan here.
