Ecosystem-based Fisheries Management Approach Before After Control Impact Design in Managing Mangroves Ecosystem
Get PDFEcosystem-based approach in fisheries management is still a new concept in fisheries management in Malaysia. This is approach adopted by Department of Fisheries (DOF) mainly to suppress fishing effort through the enforcement of the Fisheries Act 1985. It was later admitted that the approach had failed to meet its objective. This paper describes the implementation of ecosystem approach in managing the mangroves ecosystem using the Before After Control Impact (BACI) design to detect the cause of perturbation as a result of management decision. If the cause of the perturbation is confirmed, and it is caused by the management decision, then the decision is to be reconsidered. The pilot project proposed is to assess the suitability, preparedness and the acceptance of the eco- approach by society and the authority. In managing mangroves ecosystem, both society and the authority sit together in a committee to formulate a management plan that in general oversees the wellbeing of the mangroves benefiters using scientific data and knowledge.
