Abstract

The performance of a Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) can be assessed from three main dimensions, namely (1) biophysical, (2) governance, and (3) economic and social cultural. This particular study has investigated the performance of Pulau Tioman Marine Park (PTMP) from these comprehensive dimensions in aiming to gain knowledge on lessons learned from this 24 years old marine park. The PTMP is also chosen due to its progressive development and worldwide popularity as a tourist destination, which has a significant economic as well as social impact to the local community of the island. The study integrates qualitative and quantitative approaches in achieving its objectives and to enhance the rigorousness of the study. The respondents include the communities in Kg Juara, Kg Tekek, Kg Air Batang, Kg Salang, Kg Mukut, and Kg Genting/Paya. The findings of the study reveal the lessons learned from the three dimensions of performance. First, in terms of biophysical dimension, there is an urgent need for developing a focal species database, hiring qualified research officers at the island, and strictly enforcing the marine park plan, particularly on the development areas, water and sewage system. Second, from the perspective of the governance, three lessons learned has been identified. Good cooperation in monitoring and surveillance by both the JTLM and the local community, effective information dissemination, particularly on the rules and regulations, and adequacy of available resources to manage the island are considered as the key requirements. Finally, in terms of economic and social cultural dimension, the study identifies another three lessons learned. For continuous improvement efforts, the establishment of one-stop centre for development of the island, development of historical/ attraction sites, and integration of local values, beliefs, and opinion into the management plan are deemed to be beneficial to the island in the long-run. These lessons learned are hoped can be a lesson to other marine parks in managing the marine life and not to forget the people life as well for achieving sustainability development
