AGRO-TOURISM is expected to boom with the deployment of artificial reefs.
The Department of Fisheries has placed some recreational reefs to woo coastal-fishing lovers. Recreational reefs have been deployed in Sanglang (Perlis), Pulau Sembilan (Perak) and Labuan.
Kampung Sungai Yu fisheries resources enterprise deputy chairman Dimyati Tualo said this was a grassroots and government partnership.
Many fishermen are anticipating the business opportunities that come with the reef plan. In the villages, locals plan to operate chalets for anglers by next year. They will also offer holiday packages of homestays in a fishing village.
"Our wives and children can help with the catering and crackers business," said Dimyati. Visitors can even dine on a sampan.
On a trip out to the Straits of Malacca, the breathtaking sight of eagles gathering before sunset greeted us. Around reef areas, divers will benefit the most from the seaweed and numerous schools of fish.
