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.
马来西亚登嘉楼的当地渔业部门正在实施一项人工鱼礁计划，以缓解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捕捞的影响，增加渔业资源，并改善个体渔业社区的经济状况。本文旨在呈现登嘉楼沿海水域渔民的人口特征和人工鱼礁捕鱼活动的数据。通过分层抽样收集了主要数据，涉及登嘉楼四个渔村的430名受访者，即瓜拉登嘉楼、马兰、龙运和甘马挽。数据集通过自行设计的问卷获得。数据分析和总结以表格和图表形式呈现。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有价值的反馈，有助于政策制定者防止马来西亚海域渔业资源的过度开发。
