Daily Express, 20 March 2008

Kota Kinabalu: The Fisheries Department Wednesday announced that Red Tide was detected off Kota Kinabalu and Tuaran, though in small amounts, since last week.
Its Principal Assistant Chief Ronny Bisuing advised to the public to be extra careful when eating shell fish or fish known to be easily contaminated by toxin produced by Red Tide.
The situation is not critical and is under control. He also advised fishermen involved in cage fish culture to monitor the sea in their area and shift their fish to safer areas if needed. The department is monitoring the Red Tide movement and would inform the public from time to time.
