Looming danger: The beautiful Pantai Pasir Panjang, which is part of the turtle landing site in Segari, is under threat of destruction.
MANJUNG: Turtle landing and eco-tourism activities as well as the physical structure of Pasir Panjang beach will be destroyed if the state government does not re-gazette the area, says Sahabat Alam Malaysia (SAM).
SAM field researcher Meor Razak Meor Abdul Rahman said the area was de-gazetted on Feb 2, 1989, and since then, various tree planting programmes had been implemented before being threatened by an illegal sand extraction project since last November.
