- Abstract:
Malaysia sits in the middle of the world's most biodiverseseas. Regional
agreements, including the Sulu Sulawesi Marine Ecoregion and the Coral
Triangle Initiative have shaped the direction of marine conservation and
coastal management. However, political and historical realities have an
influence, which makes adhering to agreements challenging for local authorities,
resource managers and local communities. At the same time, marine resource
status and local livelihoods continue to suffer.
