Setiu – A Wetland Wonder
www.wwf.org.my
The Setiu
Wetlands, part of the Setiu River Basin and the larger
Setiu-Chalok-Bari-Merang basin wetland complex lies in
Terengganu on Peninsular Malaysia’s east coast.
Extending 23,000ha, it comprises riparian forests lining
the riverbanks, freshwater Melaleuca swamps, peat
swamps, mangroves, brackish water lagoon with vegetated
sand islands, seagrass beds and sandy beaches.
The sandy
beaches, sand islands and riverbanks are nesting grounds
for Malaysia’s largest breeding population of painted
terrapin (Callagur borneoensis) and are amongst the few
remaining mainland nesting sites for the green turtle (Chelonia
mydas). Both the painted terrapin and green turtle are
endangered species.
Did you know
that the Setiu Wetlands supplies between 50% to 60% of
Peninsular Malaysia’s grouper (Ephinephelus spp)
juveniles and oyster seeds? The lagoon is a major
aquaculture area involving brackish water cage culture,
pond culture, pen culture and oyster farming.
Surrounding villages produce the well-known Terengganu
budu (fermented fish sauce), and other fish and seafood
based delicacies like fish crackers, dried anchovies and
belacan (shrimp paste).
Continued
availability of wetland benefits and services as well as
local community socio-economic improvement At present,
there is lack of comprehensive plan to guide the
integrated and sustainable management of the Setiu
Wetlands. Haphazard development by different sectors
will result in dire consequences to the wetlands, its
biodiversity and other natural resources.
Setiu’s
natural wetland features and elements have considerable
ecotourism potential. Suitable ecotourism activities may
include nature watch (on the unique wetland habitat and
turtle nesting), honey harvesting in the Melalueca
swamps and recreational fishing. Ecotourism can generate
alternative incomes for local communities, who at
present depend almost entirely on the fisheries sector
for their livelihood. For ecotourism to be successful
and sustainable, local community awareness and
commitment is vital.
