dc.description.abstractThe Department of Fisheries Malaysia (DOFM) has taken initial steps in ensuring that natural resources are not threatened with extinction by introducing the concept of special refugia for two commodities, such as the penaeid shrimp and lobster. Tanjung Leman in Johor (Southeast of Peninsula Malaysia) has been identified as special refugia for lobster, and Kuala Baram (Northeast of Sarawak State) as special refugia for the penaeid shrimp. Since 2006, annual landings of lobster (Panulirus spp.) in Johor had been dramatically decreasing below 500 metric tons (MT) from previously recorded which was 2059 MT in 2002. Landings of lobster had dropped particularly in the West Coast of Peninsula Malaysia while landings in the East Coast, such as in Sabah and Sarawak also showed decreasing trend to below 200 MT. For penaeid shrimp (Penaeus monodon), capture data mainly from Sabah and Sarawak also showed decreasing pattern from 1948 MT in 2003 to 1226 MT in 2013. The month of March is the highest peak for annual landings of lobster and penaeid shrimp in Malaysia, mostly delivered by trawlers. Harvest of lobster and penaeid shrimp had contributed around 89% and 74%, respectively, to the overall catch landings of the country. Currently, several committees and action groups involving various stakeholders in the two areas were established and plans of action for 2014-2018 serve as written guidelines and references for all stakeholders. The successful implementation of the concept of refugia for seasonal conservation of a freshwater fish in Sabah under the program called Tagal System, had been an inspiration of the concerned stakeholders, believing that such success could be replicated in other areas of the country and for other economically-important aquatic species.en
