Sabah collaborates with NGO for fish bomb-free initiative

KOTA KINABALU: An initiative called "Fish Bomb-Free Sabah" will see the two non-governmental organisations – Blu Hope and Stop Fish Bombing Malaysia – collaborating with state Agriculture, Fisheries and Food Industry Ministry (Maffi) in efforts to conserve marine ecosystems in Sabah.

The initiative, which is set to expand and achieve greater effectiveness in curbing this illegal and destructive fishing technique thus ensuring a continuous marine protein supply, will also see widespread job creation for Sabah's coastal and island communities.
