Tropical fishes finding food in coral reefs/ Source from Mr. Lee Shing Fang

  Swallow Reef is a coral reef. Besides the beautiful views with sapphire blue oceans and sky, the most beautiful scenery is the elegant coral and colorful tropical fishes. The coral here constitutes a perfect ecology without any man-made destruction, and the diversity of tropical fish is rivaled by few other places anywhere in the world. The Malaysian government is therefore making diving the central focus of tourist development in the area. Swallow Reef has equipment for the desalination of seawater, equipment for generating electricity using wind power and diesel oil, and basic infrastructure of international standards. Expert guides are available, and prices are reasonable. As a result, the reef has gradually become popular with divers. While developing tourism, the Malaysian government has also worked hard to protect the local environment. Diving apart, all other marine activities are strictly prohibited, and Swallow Reef has been able to retain its natural features without being affected by development. The azure seawater, beautiful coral, tropical fish and seabird sanctuary have made the reef a paradise for blue water lovers, who visit in large numbers.
