The Penang state government, through the Penang Infrastructure Corporation (PIC), has deployed 18 artificial reefs and two fish aggregating devices (unjam) off Pulau Kendi to attract marine life and support the local fishing community. This initiative is part of the Penang South Islands (PSI) Ecology Offset Masterplan (PEOM), linked to the Silicon Island project. It is a collaborative effort involving PIC, Silicon Island Development Sdn Bhd (SIDSB), and Universiti Sains Malaysia's CEMACS. The programme aims to restore marine ecosystems by creating new marine habitats and supporting coral reef rehabilitation.
