Conservation Measures Proposed
There is a proposal to include all uninhabited islands within a conservation management zone. It has been recommended that a large proportion of the mangroves and intertidal mudflats within Brunei Bay be protected in an International Coastal Resource Conservation Zone (Howes & Sahat, in prep). This would involve liaison between Brunei Darussalam and the Malaysian States of Sarawak and Sabah, to form a continuous zone of protected land in sectors of the bay where mangroves and intertidal flats predominate. Caldecott (1987) has proposed that a Joint Management Commission for Brunei Bay be established, with the participation of the national governments of Brunei Darussalam and Malaysia, and the state governments of Sarawak and Sabah. The Commission would be formally responsible for the permanent management of the bay's natural resources on a rational and sustained basis.

“A country grows in history not only because of the heroism of its troops on the field of battle, it grows also when it turns to justice and to right for the conservation of its interests.”

“Him the Almighty Power
Hurld headlong flaming from th’ Ethereal Skie
With hideous ruine and combustion down
To bottomless perdition, there to dwell
In Adamantine Chains and penal Fire,
Who durst defie th’ Omnipotent to Arms.
Nine times the Space that measures Day and Night
To mortal men, he with his horrid crew
Lay vanquisht, rowling in the fiery Gulfe”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
“It is not always possible to predict the response of a doting Jewish mother. Witness the occasion on which the late piano virtuoso Oscar Levant telephoned his mother with some important news. He had proposed to his beloved and been accepted. Replied Mother Levant: “Good, Oscar, I’m happy to hear it. But did you practice today?””
