The Influence of Environmental Transformation on Small-Scale Fishing Communities’ Livelihood
In Malaysia’s northern area, small-scale fishing (SSF) communities in inland open water are among the most vulnerable people. This study looked at the impact of climate change on small-scale fishing communities in Malaysia’s northern region from a vulnerability standpoint, using two vulnerability indexes. One is the Livelihood Vulnerability Index’ (LVI) and the other is the Vulnerability Framework Approach of IPCC (LVI-IPCC method). The primary purpose of this study is to assess how climate change affects small-scale fishing communities. Data on SSF households were collected at random from three states to suit the research goal: Kedah, Penang, and Perlis. For an interview, a total of 352 SSF families were contacted. According to the Livelihood Vulnerability Index (LVI) research, SSFs in Perlis are more susceptible than those in Kedah and Penang. Adjustments to food policy, health services, informal credit facilities, training, and the establishment of more effective early warning systems are all necessary initiatives that the government must take to enhance the quality of life for SSF communities.
