Mabul Island  

• Mabul Island is a small island off the south-eastern coast of Sabah in Malaysia.
• The island has been a fishing village since the 1970s.
• In the 1990s, it first became popular to divers due to its proximity to Sipadan island.
• Mabul island is administered as a part of Semporna, Tawau district.
• There are two main villages on the island, "Kampung Mabul" and "Kampung Musu". 
• These residents are mainly Bajau Laut and Suluk Muslims who live a nomadic lifestyle.
• As most residents mainly work as fishermen, the village source of income depends on ocean-based products such as squid and fish. Traditional fishing methods are called "Payau" and "Sangkaliya".
• In Sipadan and places like the Great Barrier Reef, the giant parrotfish can usually be found in a large group. They are actually quite gregarious. The Bumphead parrotfish is the biggest for its parrotfish species. It weighs close to 50kg and grows up to 1.3 meters in length
