Malaysia’s waters are a treasure trove of marine resources, yet still reliance on imported seafood. Today, 70% of our seafood supply comes from capture fisheries, predominantly nearshore. Traditional nearshore fishing methods, while foundational, now strain under the weight of rising demand and dwindling global fish stocks. Aquaculture, contributing just 30% of production, holds untapped potential. Meanwhile, offshore fishing remains underdeveloped, leaving vast opportunities in deeper waters unexplored.
