Under this project, three approaches are promoted: (1) Cage fishing, which keeps fish in cage from juvenile stage until maturity (2) Acquaculture whereby fish ponds are established on-shore to reduce fishing pressure off-shore and (3) strengthening Beach Management Units (BMUs) to conserve the shoreline and fish breeding sites. It is expected that the three

Given the current status, it has been suggested by various researchers and local communities that wider adoption of fish ponds by farmers can expand alternative sources of fish supply and this may reduce fishing pressure in the Lake and allow for stock-breeding.
