The bauxite mining was blamed for turning the waters and seas red near Kuantan. BackgroundMalaysia annual output of bauxite ore has increased from over 200,000 tonnes in 2013 to nearly 20 million tonnes in 2015, becoming the world's top producer and accounting for nearly half of the supply to China's massive aluminium industry.[1] Kuantan, the capital of Pahang, which has a largely unregulated bauxite mining industry ramped up bauxite output starting in 2014 to fill a supply gap after neighboring Indonesia banned bauxite exports in January the same year and to meet demand from China.[2] In July 2015, the Pahang government revoked the licences of 34 contractors to curb rampant bauxite mining in the area, due to concerns over rising pollution from the activity and only 11 operators would be allowed to operate.[3] Disaster{{Empty section|date=September 2017}}CleanupAs of December 2016, the Kuantan Port Consortium (KPC) has invested an amount of RM30 million to clean the bauxite waste at Kuantan harbour area.[4] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Bauxite in Malaysia: The environmental cost of mining|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-35340528|publisher=BBC News|accessdate=19 January 2016}} {{coord missing|Malaysia}}{{DEFAULTSORT:2015-16 Kuantan bauxite disaster}}{{Malaysia-stub}}{{environment-stub}}2. ^{{cite web|title=Malaysia likely to extend bauxite mining ban for three months or more|url=https://www.reuters.com/article/malaysia-bauxite-idUSL3N1GK3EI|publisher=Reuters|accessdate=7 March 2017}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=Malaysian state revokes bauxite mining licences over pollution concerns|url=http://www.straitstimes.com/asia/se-asia/malaysian-state-revokes-bauxite-mining-licences-over-pollution-concerns|publisher=The Straits Times|accessdate=13 July 2015}} 4. ^{{cite web|title=Bauxite mining moratorium until March 31, 2017: Wan Junaidi|url=http://www.thesundaily.my/news/2104545|publisher=The Sun|accessdate=22 December 2016}} 3 : 2015 in Malaysia|2016 in Malaysia|Man-made disasters in Malaysia |
