Gazette the Tembeling River

The most critical part in implementing the temoleh conservations is gazette the river. The locations, distance, area and modus of operations have to be precise. Involvement of NGO's, Local Authorities, Local Villagers and Politician is very crucial.

For the start,  the gazette area for the Tembeling River is as follow:-

  • River Involved    :    Sungai Tembeling
  • Administrations   :    Pejabat Daerah & Tanah Jerantut
  • Distance Area     :    +-100 Kilometres
  • Start Area           :    Kuala Tembeling
  • End Area             :    Kg Bantal

 Implementing River Zoning System

In order to ensure the smooth running of the conservations process, the river have to separate and identified by zone. The purpose is for manageable monitoring of the temoleh populations especially in sensitive area.

The river zoning area is as follow:

Red Zone  

  • Activities specifications- Any kind of fishery activities  (fishing, net or etc ) are totally prohibited in this area.
  • Area Involved: Start from Lubuk Jeram Panjang up to Kuala Trenggan

Yellow Zone  

  • Activities specifications - Only fishing and Jala netting are allowed in this area.
  • Area involved : Start from Lubuk Kelembai up to Lubuk Jeram Panjang

Green Zone  

  • Activities specifications  - Any kind of fishing and netting is allowed as long as following the standard rules issued by the Fishery Department
  • Area involved 01 : Kuala Tembeling up to Lubuk Kelembai
  • Area involved 02 : Kuala Trenggan up to Kg Bantal

 Locations Factor

Selections of the zoning locations are based on the following:

  • Referring to the locals, the selected area always landed a good catch.
  • This zone is major tourism area, visited by thousand of tourist every year.
  • The selected zone have been identified as a breeding spot for a few endangered fish species.
   

 

 Most of the villagers are traditional river fisherman. By giving them alternative income such as homestay program will benefit them indirectly. This will educate them to treat Temoleh as tourist attractions; not for selling.

 

One of our ongoing awareness and conservations activities is "Fish Release Programme". We are targeting to release a minimum of 1 million fries and mature temoleh back to the river. The survival rate is very low and the growth also very slow. Hopefully by this actions, it will increase the populations of this extinction fish and supply enough stock in future. Maybe one day Sungai Tembeling is the World's No 1 in Temoleh Fish Sportfishing! Who knows?
