Among the topics that were thorougly discussed are concerns on the difficulty to impose a complete ban on sharks as they could still be found in their catch. It's very hard to ban fishermen to understand or to change their habbits and put into their mind that these sharks and rays are protected species by the Law. For them its considered food and source of income.
The forum also touched on the need for responsible tourism standards, the need for a shark consevation areas and the high income derived from shark fishing.
The forum has brought an eye opener to participants on the need to protect the sharks and rays in Malaysia.
