​
The discussion is held in one of the villages of the Indigenous People (known as: Orang Asli) in Carey Island which is Kampung Kepau Laut. We had a great attendance of many families that showed up and willingly talked to us. There are from the fisher and non-fisher community including men, women, youth and children. They gave us of their thoughts and opinions in terms of future of mangrove and fisheries. Then, we finished off with food, appreciation token and some photos.
