Bomb detection devices help conservationists curb fish bombing in Semporna

KOTA KINABALU: Fish bombing activities in one of Sabah’s diving havens of Semporna have reduced significantly over the past three years, thanks to real-time bomb-detecting devices.

Marine conservationist Terence Lim from the Stop Fish Bombing Malaysia non-governmental organisation said this device was put to use in Semporna in 2020, and it has since reduced the number of cases by about 80%.
