Bio-diversity

The Consumers` Association of Penang (CAP) in collaboration with inshore fishing communities of Penang aim to protect and promote the use of indigenous knowledge and practices related to traditional fishing practices in Penang, as well as the conservation and sustainable use of the mangrove forests for alternative sustainable livelihoods such as indigenous medicine and handicrafts making. Also traditional inshore fishing communities will be educated on the importance of preserving mangrove forests for ensuring the sustainability of their fisheries resources and promote their shifting to alternative sustainable livelihoods.
