LABUAN: The Labuan Department of Wildlife and National Parks (Perhilitan) will continue to monitor all the beaches on this island following recent sightings of crocodiles.
Its chief Welter Siringon said among the methods implemented was to fire shots into the air to drive the reptiles away from the beach.
Welter said it was not an easy task to ensure that the entire Labuan coast remained free from the presence of crocodiles."Based on our monitoring, these crocodiles swim from the waters of Sabah to Labuan and back to Sabah, and when we fire shots to drive them away, it is quite difficult for us to guarantee that they will not return," he said.
