    abstract = {The main attempt of this study is to investigate the problems associated with 
  the use by young fishermen in Malaysia of the Global Positioning System (GPS). 
  This study is quantitative in nature and involved a total of 240 respondents 
  who were young fishermen aged between 15 and 40 years. Individuals financial 
  capacity to buy GPS was the main problem detected while the respondents also 
  raised their concerns about a lack of GPS training programs, courses, seminars 
  and promotional initiatives to further encourage the use of GPS within their 
  fishing operations. The main recommendation made was to provide a technology 
  subsidy to those who show an interest in buying GPS while additional funding 
  should be allocated by the relevant parties to hold any programs, seminars, 
  courses or promotional initiatives that can further encourage young fishermen 
  in Malaysia to use advanced technology in their fishing operations.}
