Overview
The ‘Sabah Sharks and Rays Forum 2018’ is a gathering of Malaysian, regional and international experts to explore synergies between fisheries, conservation and tourism. The Forum is a one and a half day event.
The first day provides the opportunity to share information about advances in shark and ray-focused legislation, research and awareness raising in Sabah. It will also provide a platform for input and feedback by experts from the region (including the Philippines and Hong Kong) and from the international sphere. Additionally, civil society organizations will present a ‘Vision and Goals for Sabah’s Sharks and Rays 2022’ for discussion.
The second morning is a high-level event. Presentations will be made by a number of senior government figures and will be followed by a facilitated roundtable to discuss the core issues, evaluate challenges and to explore solutions. The event will draw to a close at lunchtime with a Press Conference.
To ensure the views of individuals involved in Sabah's fishing industry are fully articulated and considered by participants, the organisers are hosting a dedicated event in Semporna one month before the Sabah Forum. To convey the key messages, the outcomes will be presented by a representative of the community and be accompanied by a short film of the event.
