“…Although there were no salinity data available in this research, Zainol et al [29] managed to document the presence of slightly more saline water in the northern sector than in the central and southern sectors, which evidenced the low riverine input in this area. Reduced upstream discharge into the lagoon was found to be associated with increased oil palm plantations and other agriculture/aquaculture activities, including settlement areas, in the vicinity [40,52,53]. A combination of low freshwater input and shifted (Setiu) river mouth (ca.…”

The short- to long-distance dispersal (SDD and LDD) of propagules is critical for the regeneration of mangrove forests. Mark–recapture experiments are considered to be a good tool for assessing such dispersal patterns. However, dense mangrove roots, exposed mudflats, shallow water, etc. often limit the number of recaptured propagules and their implication studies. Therefore, a combination of hydrodynamic and particle tracking models, together with a mark–recapture experiment, were applied to identify the dispersal behavior of Rhizophora mucronata Lamk. propagules in a coastal lagoon of Setiu Wetlands, Malaysia. The transport trajectories revealed that the dispersal of propagules is leptokurtic, with majority of them confined to very-short-distance dispersal (VSDD; 3–5 m) to SDD (1400 m). While higher obstacle density (e.g., mangrove roots) constrained the propagule dispersal, weaker tidal currents that coupled with less upstream discharge increased their retention time and settlement closer to the point of release. Under this scenario, the chances for propagules to exit from the lagoon mouth and their entry into the open waters for LDD are very limited. These results can explain the abundance of Rhizophora spp. in the northern sector of the Setiu Wetlands and be useful for species-level conservation/management.

“…Approximately 1000 hectares of the wetland area were transformed into aquaculture ponds to enhance the local economy, with the assurance that this conversion would not negatively impact the ecological functions and biodiversity of the wetland. Lola et al, 2016 however challenged the assumption of sustainable management of the SW. They posited that the ecosystem services offered by seaweed were not being maintained in a sustainable manner to continue benefiting the local economy and mitigate threats to ecosystem sustainability.…”

The objective of the study is to test whether the subsidy reduction of daily consumer goods as a payment vehicle can influence individuals' willingness to pay (WTP) for environmental and nature conservation. Specifically, it assessed the impact of price sensitivity on the willingness to conserve wetlands, using the subsidy reduction approach. Malaysia's Setiu Wetland (SW) served as a case study to gauge respondents' preferences to trade-off the benefits of subsidy with conservation of natural resources. The welfare economic concept of WTP was applied to estimate the economic value of SW with the application of choice experiment method. Analysis using the Random Parameter Logit model showed that respondent's WTP for conserving SW, through subsidies reduction, amount to RM120.59 annually. The price sensitivity in the model is high, suggesting that respondents are greatly concerned about the monetary attribute. This further implies that subsidy reduction can be a most consequential and coercive payment for Stated Preference studies. Thorough assessment of the payment structure is crucial for the quality of environmental value research in developing economies when conventional methods may not be ideal. It is recommended that policymakers consider other alternatives as payment vehicles for environmental conservation to ensure broader support for conservation initiatives.

Pasongsongan sub-district is one of the largest producers of captured fisheries in Sumenep Regency. The Sumenep Regency Spatial Plan directs that the Pasongsongan will be developed as a Minapolitan sub-district. For this reason, it is necessary to formulate a strategy to develop a capture fishery-based Minapolitan area in the Pasongsongan sub-district. Interviews were conducted to assess the potential and challenges of developing the captured fishery-based Minapolitan area. Using SWOT and qualitative content analyses, strategies for developing the Minapolitan area in the Pasongsongan sub-district were formulated. The analysis yielded 14 strategies, including enhancing institutional roles through stakeholder collaboration, activating the fishermen’s group and monitoring its activities, procuring essential infrastructure and optimizing existing facilities, creating a comprehensive master plan for the Minapolitan area, providing training for fishing machinery and equipment, and adopting more modern, technology-based methods for catch processing.
