Posted by: Robecca Jumin Our training on Ecosystem Based Management for Fisheries (EBMF) continues. We conducted the second training on the 5th and 6th October 2009. The second workshop was conducted at the Kudat Golf and Marina Resort and targeted the commercial fishers, both fish boat owners and the fish boat crews. The main objectives of this second workshop was i) to continue raising awareness on EBMF, ii) to advocate adoption of EBMF principles in fisheries management in the proposed Tun Mustapha Park , and iii) to demonstrate the role of commercial fishers in fisheries management (through data collection such as deck sampling) The training workshop was held in collaboration with other partners, Sabah Parks as the mandated agency leading the process to establish TMP, Sabah Fisheries Department as the managing agency for the fisheries sector in Sabah and PPKNK as the association representing commercial fishing boatowners in Kudat. Financial support was provided by MENGO
