Key points
- State Fisheries Department director Kasim Tawe said that the increase indicates that turtle landings are still occurring at several beach locations in the state, including Port Dickson.
- Commenting on the proposal by the non-governmental organisation (NGO), Aktivis Pemuliharaan Marin Malaysia, for the state government to consider designating Tanjung Gemuk as a turtle landing protection zone, Kasim said there is no need to do so as the area is a public beach with various functions.
- Kasim said that efforts to protect the turtle landing area require the cooperation from all parties, especially the MPPD, the Port Dickson District and Land Office, as well as the public, considering that the area in question is a public beach.
