Conservation Measures Proposed
There is a proposal to include all uninhabited islands within a conservation management zone. It has been recommended that a large proportion of the mangroves and intertidal mudflats within Brunei Bay be protected in an International Coastal Resource Conservation Zone (Howes & Sahat, in prep). This would involve liaison between Brunei Darussalam and the Malaysian States of Sarawak and Sabah, to form a continuous zone of protected land in sectors of the bay where mangroves and intertidal flats predominate. Caldecott (1987) has proposed that a Joint Management Commission for Brunei Bay be established, with the participation of the national governments of Brunei Darussalam and Malaysia, and the state governments of Sarawak and Sabah. The Commission would be formally responsible for the permanent management of the bay's natural resources on a rational and sustained basis.
