200 satellite images confirm little fishing activity at PSI site


A satellite image from the Malaysian Space Agency in January this year shows fishing boats (green dots) operating outside the earmarked reclamation site.

IMAGES taken by satellite over three and a half years have shown that fishing activities in the waters off south Penang island mostly take place outside the proposed Penang South Islands project site.

Penang Infrastructure Corporation (PIC) chief executive officer Datuk Seri Farizan Darus said surveyor firm Enviro Land Services has studied 200 satellite images to confirm where fishermen normally fish in the southern waters off Penang island.
