PUTATAN: Universiti Malaysia Sabah Borneo Marine
Reseach Institute (BMRI) will carry out another two more projects to
release aquatic life into rivers this year.
Disclosing this, the
school’s director, Professor Dr Saleem Mustafa, said they were in the
stage of discussion to plan the best strategy to implement the projects
in the hope of producing sustainable supplies of marine life.
He
stressed that the selection of suitable marine life was vital, adding
that several factors were taken into account such as its biological
nature, natural habitat, economic factor and the support from the local
community.
“While we are working closely with the relevant bodies
on this project, it will not succeed without the support and cooperation
from the local community. We are looking forward to their feedback for
the implementation of this first project launched today (yesterday),” he
said referring to the launch of the first phase of the Lobster Ranching
Project at the Muhibbah Hall in Petagas, here, by Deputy Chief Minister
cum Agriculture and Food Industry Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Yahya
Hussin.
Saleem added that BMRI will hold discussion sessions from
time to time to identify the suitable species to be released at several
locations for the next phase.
He said there have been requests from individuals to release fries or shrimps into the rivers.
Saleem added that the project was initiated to rehabilitate and restock the fisheries in the rivers in Sabah.
“This
upgrading and fish releasing project is the latest science subject that
has gained public interest due to its benefits,” he said.
He added that while the quality of fries and shrimps produced is important, another vital factor is its new habitat.
“That
is why we hope that this district will not ignore the quality of
environment, river and sea despite the race for development.
“It
is important for the people to help create a conducive and comfortable
environment for their new ‘guests’ … let us do it for the good of
biodiversity and fisheries here.”

Usaha yang baik daripada UMS untuk membantu meningkatkan bilangan kehidupan marin di Lautan kita, teruskan usaha ini.
Projek ini sememangnya amat menarik, patutlah ia menarik perhatian orang ramai. Diharapkan projek ini juga boleh meningkatkan kesedaran orang ramai tentang pelindungan kehidupan air.
Its a good move from the Universiti Malaysia Sabah Borneo Marine Reseach Institute (BMRI)to help improve marine life sustainability.
BMRI will hold discussion sessions from time to time to identify the suitable species to be released at several locations for the next phase. These are also a platform for the public to raise concerns, suggestions and feed backs.
hidupan marin harus kita lindungi, harap wujud kesedaran di kalangan masyarakt.
Yes Mantera, recently there is a Marine Awareness Month in April where Ronan Keating was invited to promote giant clams protection in Gayana Eco Resort. These are some of the program to create more awareness among the people.
usaha menyelamatkan hidupan marin perlu bermula dari sekarang.. mungkin kerajaan perlu mewartakan lebih banyak kawasan perairan khas untuk hidupan marin yang semakin terancam..
