Focus Group Discussion: PULAU KETAM
Focus Group Discussion Title :
Where Do Mangroves Fit in the Future of the Klang Islands (i.e. Pulau Ketam) and its Communities?
The Objectives:
​
a) To learn lessons from the view of fishermen on how mangroves and mangrove-dependent fisheries are currently managed and have been managed in the past;
b) To identify what fishermen envision for the future mangroves in relation to the fisheries and well-being of local communities;
c) To find out whether stakeholders perceive that the picture/vision of the future for the Klang Island mangroves is achievable by looking at current mangrove situation; and,
d) To start identifying how the vision for the future of the Klang Islands mangroves in relation to the fisheries and well-being of local communities can be achieved and how stakeholders could collaborate to achieve this vision.
We had 5 attendants that came to the discussion. They are from the local fisher community here. We had a small but very deep discussion with the attendants giving their insights and opinions regarding future of mangrove and fisheries. After that, we had buffet dinner for the participants and the team.
