Malaysia closes top dive sites to save corals
None
Malaysia has closed several popular dive sites to save its fragile corals, which have already been damaged by high water temperatures this year, an official said Thursday.
Twelve out of 83 spots around the popular islands of Perhentian, Redang and Tioman in the east and Payar in the west have been off-limits to divers and snorkelers since early this month, said Abdul Jamal Mydin, director general of the Department of Marine Parks. (AP)
