The state government should consider increasing fines or even imprisonment for those found guilty of damaging coral reefs.

The marine ecosystem, particularly coral reefs, faces an imminent threat from illegal blast fishing practices. Our proposal seeks funding to integrate a real-time detection system with immediate coral rehabilitation efforts, ensuring both the deterrence of harmful activities and the rapid recovery of affected marine habitats.

The practice of dropping explosives to kill fish quickly is prevalent globally, despite being illegal.

Using explosives is illegal, wasteful and devastating to marine life and people’s livelihoods. Yet in Sri Lanka and around the world it’s thriving as a quick and easy route to a lucrative haul

Blast fishing has several negative effects on food security.

After two years of pandemic-induced silence, the sounds of blasts and explosions are back in the turquoise waters around Sabah.

At the recent WWF-Malaysia 50th Anniversary Conservation Conference at the Shangri-La Tanjung Aru Hotel in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Stop Fish Bombing Malaysia's executive director gave a talk on fish bombing in Malaysia and SFB's solutions for the problem.

Stop Fish Bombing Malaysia is supporting WWF Malaysia's coral restoration efforts in Mabul Semporna Malaysian Borneo.

In central Indonesia’s Spermonde archipelago, a coral reef destroyed by blast fishing — where sticks of dynamite are thrown into the reef to kill fish — has been recovering, but scientists weren’t sure if its ecosystem would return as well. That is, until they heard the endearingly unusual sounds of marine life.

The Integrated Reef Protection System (IRPS) uses the cloud to connect underwater acoustic arrays, the M2 smart radar with high resolution camera and drone, covert hydrophones, real-time hydrophones and sound traps, and boat mounted sensors with the smartphone "Respond App” to displays blast location in minutes for enforcement officials to protect fragile Marine Protected Areas.

SFB-USA and SFB-MY recently joined BluHope.org for a webinar about fish bombing in Sabah.
