GEORGE TOWN: The fish population around Penang island will soon be living in “flat units and bungalows” as specially designed artificial reefs have been deployed in the sea to create a safe and thriving marine habitat.

A total of 20 of these reef structures, resembling miniature unfinished condominiums, are being placed off Pulau Kendi as part of a biodiversity “township”, an initiative aimed at restoring marine life and ecosystems in the southern waters of Penang.
