Hoping for safe landing

THE Perak government should expedite plans to gazette the turtle-landing site in Segari, Manjung as a protected area, environmentalists say.
Non-governmental organisation Sahabat Alam Malaysia (SAM) field officer Meor Razak Meor Abdul Rahman said environmental groups have been pushing for the coastal area from Pantai Pasir Panjang to Tanjung Hantu – the main turtle-landing site in Perak – to be gazetted since 2013.
SAM, he said, has been organising activities such as beach cleaning, release of turtle hatchlings as well as planting of ambong-ambong (sea lettuce) saplings to create awareness of the site’s importance over the past eight years.
