Adnan said that the DOF is actively developing and promoting fishing equipment which minimises environmental impact, such as trawls equipped with turtle excluder devices .“The DOF is conducting training and awareness programmes, to educate fishermen on the importance of using sustainable fishing gear. Additionally, the department provides technical support and incentives, to encourage the fishing community to transition to more eco-friendly equipment,” he told Bernama.
“The DOF also promotes the use of advanced fishing technology, such as sonar, echo sounders, and GPS, to help fishermen locate fish more efficiently while preventing overfishing. This includes the implementation of Fishing Site Identification technology,” he said. “Local fishermen serve as ‘eyes and ears’ at sea, reporting illegal fishing activities, the use of prohibited fishing gear, and other threats to fish stocks, to the authorities. Their vigilance plays a crucial role in supporting the enforcement of fisheries laws,” he said.
