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.

Famous quotes containing the words conservation, measures and/or proposed:
“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.”
—Aristide Briand (1862–1932)
“I was surprised by Joe’s asking me how far it was to the Moosehorn. He was pretty well acquainted with this stream, but he had noticed that I was curious about distances, and had several maps. He and Indians generally, with whom I have talked, are not able to describe dimensions or distances in our measures with any accuracy. He could tell, perhaps, at what time we should arrive, but not how far it was.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“On the 31st of August, 1846, I left Concord in Massachusetts for Bangor and the backwoods of Maine,... I proposed to make excursions to Mount Ktaadn, the second highest mountain in New England, about thirty miles distant, and to some of the lakes of the Penobscot, either alone or with such company as I might pick up there.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
