“…This shows majority of the fishermen earn within range of Malaysian Economic Planning Unit prescribed poverty line of RM 720 which is equivalent to $167 monthly income (Yusof, Kamaruddin, Omar, Bolong, & Shaffril, 2014). 39.2 percent of the fishermen are between the age range of 48-62, which is quite reflective of an ageing population as hinted by (Mazuki & Man, 2014) that the fishing industry in Malaysia is faced with an ageing population. Respondents were mostly with education up to primary level 63.3 percent with very few having diploma and above 3.6 percent.…”

Climate information and early warnings are adjudged as key inputs for any adaptive action as such they are regularly disseminated through Information Communication Tools (ICTs) to fishing communities in Malaysia. However, such communication programs are adjudged to be top-down and expert centric, resulting in attendant unpreparedness and maladaptive attitude. As such the input of beneficiaries is clearly essential, the Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) extends a simple and effective means of evaluating such services, therefore providing inputs on importance and performance of innovations. This work is guided by Protective Motivation Theory (PMT) to evaluate and highlight priorities and satisfaction ratings on flood risks communication, revealing specific clients’ needs for effective communication towards resilient livelihood in a participatory manner. Data was collected from 362 fishermen in east coast Malaysia and results of analysis revealed high perceived importance ratings on issues like severity and vulnerability to flooding events and low ranking in performance of advisory services to flood risks communication. Findings will, therefore, inform design and or improvement of programs by government agencies and NGOs.

“…Although researchers have established the fact that ICTs are heavily utilized by fishermen in peninsular Malaysia (Mazuki & Man, 2014;Shaffril, Omar, Hassan, Bolong, & Silva, 2012;Siti Zobidah & Chhachhar, 2012). Barely, researches are found that looked at the endusers' specific input to communication programs design.…”

<p>The potential of fisheries resources is still massive as well as the challenges. One of the challenges faced in the fisheries sector is climate change occurring massively. Climate change that occurs disrupts the productivity and activities of fishermen. Fishermen live with uncertainty because their livelihoods are directly related to nature. So that fishermen are required to be able to adapt and mitigate to climate change that is occurring rapidly. Information innovation and communication are widely developed to help fishermen in sea activities. The technology created is available in various forms, such as android-based applications, SMS broadcasts, Whatsapp groups, GPS, Fishfinder, etc. The objective of this study is to identify fishermen's perception of the benefits of technology and service communication used, ICT relationship with fishermen's income, and stakeholder role strategies in the use of ICT. The mix-method approach is used to acknowledge study objectives using the software SPSS 23 and Atlas. Ti 8. The result shows that fishermen's perception of the benefits of ICT namely facilitating communication, reducing production costs, improving safety, increasing fishermen's knowledge, and increasing income. There is a relationship between the use of ICT and fishermen's income, as well as stakeholders who have an important role in the use of ICT in the fishing community.</p>

Fish detector technology widely used by commercial fishermen in Malaysia since 1963. This technology helped in increased efficiency, productivity and eased the work of fishermen. Despite the explosion of fishery knowledge and technology changes, Malaysia's coastal fishermen community appear to lack using the appropriate fish detector technology. There are several factors that probably explain coastal fishermen doubtful to use fish detector technology. One of the prominent factors was behavior factors. Thus, this paper delved the relationship of behavioral factors towards the fish detector technology usage among coastal fishermen by using UTAUT as a main framework. Further, the study was quantitative in nature, and via a multi-stage cluster sampling, a total of 400 coastal fishermen from four selected districts had been selected as the respondents. The SPSS software was used to run an analysis. The results showed that the all four of the behavior factors (Performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence and status/personal image) have a positive significant relationship in fish detector technology usage.
