KOTA KINABALU: Addressing"accidental" shark and ray catches by fishermen should be a priority in the conservation management, says Marine Research Foundation executive director Dr Nicolas Pilcher.
Friends of Sea Turtles Education & Research president Alexander Yee said it was clear that addressing accidental catch can only be part of the solution. Yee said while there are obvious advantages to protecting our sharks, one of the challenges is to find a balance between communities who have sharks as their diet and us conservationists and tourism operators."
This estimate does not include landings from other fishing gears such as the ubiquitous gillnets used by traditional fishers, longlines, and purse seine vessels. In 2018, during the Sabah Sharks and Ray Forum 2018 in Kota Kinabalu, Australian Institute of Marine Science Dr Johanna Zimmerhackel said that the Semporna diving industry was worth USD72mil a year.
