Do you have any photos of that jellyfish taken from P.Payar?Dreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08797658135561940402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3382539233184523416.post-54339139739159686542013-09-19T15:09:17.079+08:002013-09-19T15:09:17.079+08:00Be very aware of BOX Jellyfish in Pulau Payar.

However, any tourist destination especially diving spots should first increase the awareness campaign about the risks and negative effects of shark feeding. I appreciate your concern and effort in protecting sharks.Jean Polohttp://divezone.net/langkawi-island.htmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3382539233184523416.post-41720456922677095092012-03-03T13:59:52.667+08:002012-03-03T13:59:52.667+08:00Hi Anonymous Feb 29th,

You can put your comments/opinions across via tripadvisor, etc. which can be effective. <br />From what I understand that yeast may affect the reproductive cycle of the coral reef fishes.Dreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08797658135561940402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3382539233184523416.post-24474741057355262002012-03-03T13:56:56.885+08:002012-03-03T13:56:56.885+08:00Hi Kat,

Those who are responsible would be the operators, some guides and the @#%* authorities. I ran out of comments for these group of people.Dreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08797658135561940402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3382539233184523416.post-13703267946704985922012-03-01T09:24:53.463+08:002012-03-01T09:24:53.463+08:00I was out snorkelling at the platform 3 months ago...I was out snorkelling at the platform 3 months ago and I saw some snorkellers with bottles of white bread to feed the coral fish. I asked the operator why they were handing them out and he said it was the agents who booked the trip who gives it to them. He said it's hard to get them to stop. I have no idea what the environmental impact of feeding coral fish with yeast and bleached, processed flour is but it can't be good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3382539233184523416.post-62378824832705500642012-02-29T23:51:52.635+08:002012-02-29T23:51:52.635+08:00Great ....if now also the Eagle feeding would be b...Great ....if now also the Eagle feeding would be banned this would also be a great success ...
