Based on what i had read, the natural resources at Redang especially coral reef are decreasing tremendously recently. Natural resources at Redang are facing threats from humans and dying by seconds. The research shown that the number of tourists has grown past the carrying capacity of the natural resources on the island.

Although tourism is very crusial in boosting the development of local economy and social, at the same time the state government should emphasize more in restoring and taking care of the natural resources which actually attract the tourists in the first place.
