KOTA KINABALU, April 20 — The waters of the Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park, one of the most popular tourist attractions in the state, may get a boost of cleanliness with the help of its first waste collection vessel that can clean up trash on a large scale.
He said that there were still adjustments and improvements to be made and that another round of testing would be conducted during the monsoon season in June. The vessel arrived in Kota Kinabalu in January but testing only began last week. — Picture courtesy of Marine Research Foundation“The vessel has the capacity to collect one tonne of rubbish and during the one-week test, we collected lots of plastic caps, food packages, plastic bottles, straws and diapers, among others,” Lipon said.
“The reasons are many, and more complex than one may think. Some are discarded from boats and coastal homes with no care or concern for the ocean or what impact this waste might have.
