Activist: Turtle landing sites at risk, caused by sand mining

IPOH: Silica sand mining along the Pasir Panjang beach in Segari is threatening turtle landing sites, says an environmental group.

Environmental Activists Society secretary Noor Ismady Ahmad Radzuan said drones captured sand mining footage near the Sungai Puyu and Puyu Tanjung Hantu estuary of the beach in Manjung district near here. He expressed concern over the impact of the sand mining activities, which were also being carried out at night, on the ecosystem.
