Sabah to launch ‘Kebun Dapur App’ to boost marketing of local produce KOTA KINABALU (April 12): Sabah’s community-based food production initiative is set to receive a digital boost with the introduction of a dedicated mobile application aimed at improving the marketing of agricultural and livestock produce. Agriculture, Fisheries and Food Industry Minister Datuk Jamawi Jaafar said the application, known as the “Kebun Dapur App”, is expected to be launched by Chief Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Hajiji Noor within the next month. He said the application is designed to strengthen the food production ecosystem at the community level by enabling users to access real-time information on agricultural and livestock supply across the state […]

Why seasonal flooding along the Grand River is helpful for fish Fish and other aquatic organisms can benefit from flooding, in a way that people can’t see.

Flood waters are understandably alarming, but our rivers and many fish species depend on seasonal flooding.

Sabah takes immediate action to control threat of non-endemic fish species KOTA KINABALU: The Sabah Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food Industry has directed the Sabah Fisheries Department to issue a special circular to all districts to implement immediate control actions to address the threat of non-endemic fish species in the state. Its Minister Datuk Jamawi Jaafar said it was part of a firm step to ensure comprehensive action was taken to address the outbreak of deaths of pelian fish due to Koi Herpesvirus (KHV) infection which has been reported since August 1, 2025. “All Tagal Chairmen are instructed to identify, catch and remove all koi fish and non-endemic Sabah Cyprinidae […]

WHOI Sea Grant supports $1.6 million in critical aquaculture and fisheries research Woods Hole, Mass. (April 7, 2026) – Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Sea Grant has awarded $1.6 million to four new research projects that will investigate pressing concerns related to Massachusetts’ vital aquaculture and fisheries industries, including oysters, soft-shell clams, and black sea bass. The awards are the result of WHOI Sea Grant’s 2026 to 2027 biennial research competition. “Each of these projects addresses a question we’re hearing directly from those working on the water: how to keep shellfish beds open, how to manage emerging fisheries, how to improve aquaculture practices, and how to restore oyster reefs more effectively,” said WHOI Sea Grant Director Matt Charette. “This is science driven by real needs, with outcomes that will directly benefit coastal communities.” Over the next two years, these projects will generate new tools and data to support species economically and environmentally important to coastal Massachusetts. The Commonwealth-based researchers will also share this work with the people who will directly benefit from the findings. The projects reflect a coordinated effort to address several pressing challenges facing Massachusetts’ coastal waters and communities. “For almost a century, the residents of Massachusetts - especially Cape Codders - have had the great benefit of living in proximity...

Strengthening Marine Fisheries' Governance for Sustainability and Blue Economy Goals India’s marine fisheries sector is a fundamental component of national coastal governance and the blue economy; however, its regulatory framework remains fragmented. The management of the country’s 11,099-km coastline and expansive Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of 2,372,298 km² is shared between the central and state governments. While this dual jurisdiction allows region-specific governance, it often results in inconsistent policy application, regulatory overlaps, and weak enforcement.[1] The complexity is particularly significant given the sector’s socioeconomic role in supporting over five million marine fishers and their families[2] and its contribution to national food security, employment, and export earnings. In 2023–24, India’s marine capture fisheries yielded 3.55 million tonnes, generating export revenues exceeding US$7 billion (≈INR 60,500 crore).[3] The sector’s direct and indirect contributions are estimated at 1.09 percent of national Gross Value Added (GVA) and 6.7 of agricultural GVA.[4] Projections suggest that with effective governance reforms, sustainable harvesting practices, and value-chain optimisation,[5] the sector’s contribution could increase by 30–40 percent over the next decade, enhancing both domestic nutritional security and India’s position in global seafood markets.[6] Against this backdrop, the imperative to develop a harmonised, cohesive national framework for marine fisheries’ governance is clear, ensuring that economic expansion under blue-economy ambitions is...

My vision for Malta's agriculture and fisheries in 2050 In 2050, I envision Malta as a nation that has figured out how to treat its land and sea as living partners. When I consider the future of agriculture and fisheries, I picture industries that are setting the standard for sustainability, innovation, and national resilience rather than fighting for survival. This vision stems from the principles set out in Malta’s 2050 long-term strategy: a future built on quality, sustainability, and genuine opportunity. These ideas are shaping every crop, greenhouse, and fishing harbour on our islands. In 2050, I want agriculture to be smart, efficient, and respected. Despite being crucial to our food security and cultural identity, the industry has been underappreciated. It will remain a contemporary habitat, with tradition and technology coexisting by 2050. I picture farms equipped with digital tools that monitor soil health, water use, and crop performance in real time. Farmers will be using this data to make decisions that reduce waste and increase yields. This shift fits perfectly with the national push for digital transformation and human-centred services envisaged in the government’s Vision 2050. Water will remain one of our greatest challenges. By 2050, Malta needs to be a leader in water reuse and efficient irrigation...
