Abstract：
An artificial reef (AR) programme is being undertaken by the local fisheries authority in Terengganu, Malaysia, in an effort to mitigate the depletion of fish stocks in the coastal zone. This program is intended to protect inshore fishery habitats from trawls to increase fishery resources and improve the economic conditions of artisanal fishing communities. This article aims to present data on fishers\' demographic characteristics and artificial reef fishing activity on Terengganu coastal water. Primary data were collected using stratified sampling that involved 430 respondents from four fishing communities in Terengganu, namely Setiu, Marang, Dungun and Kemaman. The dataset was obtained through a self-structured questionnaire. Data analysis and summary are presented using tables and figures. The findings provide valuable feedback on the socio-economic impact and economic value of artificial reefs to the fishermen and can be useful for policymakers to prevent the over-exploitation of fishery resources in Malaysian marine territories.
摘要：
登嘉楼的地方渔业当局正在实施一项人工鱼礁（AR）计划，马来西亚,以减轻沿海地区鱼类资源的枯竭。该计划旨在保护近海渔业栖息地免受拖网的侵害，以增加渔业资源并改善手工捕鱼社区的经济条件。本文旨在提供有关登嘉楼沿海水域渔民人口统计学特征和人工鱼礁捕捞活动的数据。主要数据是使用分层抽样收集的，涉及来自登嘉楼四个捕鱼社区的430名受访者，即Setiu，马朗,Dungun和Kemaman.数据集是通过自结构化问卷获得的。数据分析和总结使用表格和数字呈现。研究结果为人工鱼礁对渔民的社会经济影响和经济价值提供了宝贵的反馈，并有助于决策者防止马来西亚海洋领土上渔业资源的过度开发。
