Taiwan’s Sinyi Group collaborated with the Borneo Marine Research Institute from Universiti of Malaysia Sabah to conduct marine ecological surveys on Mengalum Island.
From the research, coral reefs were destroyed by blast fishing which lead to a decline in sea life. There was also evidence that turtle eggs were stolen causing a sharp decline in the number of sea turtles around Mengalum Island. Located approximately one hour away from Kota Kinabalu, Mengalum Island is a pristine island with abundant natural ecology and great tourism potential.
