Focus Group Discussion: PULAU INDAH
Focus Group Discussion Title :
Where Do Mangroves Fit in the Future of the Klang Islands (i.e. Pulau Indah) 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 13 attendants coming to the discussion. They are from the fisher and non-fisher community including local community, governmental agency and the appointed developer for the Island. The attendants are divided into 2 different groups which were conducted by the Research Assistants, assisted by the Supervisors. After the discussion ends, we had a great lunch, consisting of Malay dishes with local fresh products from the village area.
