Troubled by dwindling catch

Fishing boats docking at Pendekar Laut Fishermen Jetty in Kampung Pendas Laut, Gelang Patah.

The places they fished in used to yield an abundance of marine catch. Those were the lubuk, defined as a deep part of the river or sea or where the water swirled and pulled objects to the centre.

The fishermen of Gelang Patah in Johor said that was before reclamation activities and a coastal development decimated fish populations and their livelihoods.
