A hard day’s work: Fishermen bringing in their catch in Teluk Kumbar. — LIM BENG TATT/The Star

BALIK PULAU: The concerns of fishermen over reclamation works off the south of Penang island that it would affect their catch have been put to rest.

Prawn fishermen who use a traditional way of netting the prawns have been getting more than double their catch and they believe it is because the reclamation shields their fishing grounds from strong waves.
