Kota Kinabalu: Marine debris affects public health and its impact on the marine environment is worsening.
Therefore, the Marine Research Foundation (MRF) founded in 2004 is helping City Hall with assistance from Kure Daiya Co. Ltd. And Nippon KOEI Japan Co. Ltd. to clear marine debris off the Kota Kinabalu seafront.
The employment of Kure Daiya No. 3 vessel (pic), a marine debris collecting boat with a small Kobel excavator on it to scoop up the debris has been making an impact.
