“…However, monitoring of fishing activities and enforcement of policies is limited (Kimura et al, 2022). Despite legal protection from fishing pressure, over- and illegal fishing is a significant problem in Malaysia (Stodbuzki et al, 2006, Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, 2008; Ghazali et al, 2019). Low numbers of herbivorous reef fish have been documented around Pulau Lang Tengah, whereby total herbivorous fish abundance was lowest at leeward sites (Chew, 2018, unpublished data), suggesting elevated pressure on leeward coral reef resilience and colony size in view of reduced herbivorous grazing (McClanahan et al, 2001; Green and Bellwood, 2009).…”

Coral reefs globally are experiencing chronic stress leading to the deterioration of health and functionality. Analysis of size frequency distribution (SFD) of hard corals enables post hoc assessments of major demographic events (e.g., recruitment and mortality) that follow ecological disturbances. Here, we present an evaluation of current reef health, SFD and recruitment of 37 morpho-taxa in Northeast Peninsular Malaysia. Results highlight stress viable demographic structure of massive taxa (e.g., massive Porites) and significant differences of SFD across gradients of reef health, whereby degraded sites were predominantly characterized by negatively skewed (e.g., large colonies) and leptokurtic (e.g., high population turnover) distribution of dominant hard coral taxa. Ultimately, results suggest that locally coral reef degradation can exceed tipping points, after which annual monsoon conditions and degraded reef substrates interact to reinforce and manifest negative feedback loops, thereby impeding demographic recovery, and altering coral SFD and population assemblage.

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This chapter explores the ethical dilemmas faced by social scientists while interacting with the fishing community in Sri Lanka. The objective of the study is to identify and rectify these ethical difficulties with the intention of fostering responsible research procedures. This chapter uses extensive literature study and theoretical analysis covering scholarly publications, books, and reports to explore ethical issues and social science participation in fishing communities, with a focus on Sri Lanka. The findings point out the intricate interplay between cultural traditions, power dynamics, and environmental factors within the Sri Lankan Fishing Community emphasizing the need for cultural sensitivity and the need to involve the community in research design. This chapter has implications for future research and interventions in fishing communities worldwide, highlighting the intricacies and interdependencies of the Sri Lankan Fishing Community and emphasizing culturally sensitive research design, community engagement, and ethical considerations.
