On 30 April, we organised the 2nd quarterly Sibu-Tinggi Island Management Committee (STIMC) meeting in Pulau Tinggi. This meeting brought together local community, business operators and local government agencies to discuss relevant environmental issues and concerns of Sibu-Tinggi islands as well as developing management actions or activities that the committee can take up together.
Community management involves on-going consultations and capacity building programmes to facilitate development of a strong, functioning joint management body that represents all stakeholders. The community on the islands will only have a sustainable future if economic development is pursued hand in hand with improved environmental management and climate change adaptation. Without proper management, the very resources (pristine beaches, clear waters, coral reefs and fishes) that attract most tourists to the island will be degraded.
