The role and importance of education and learning has received considerable attention in these recent years as one of effective ways to ensure participatory approach in natural resource management and conservation. Apart from local participation in benefit sharing, engaging them in collaborative manner with local authorities to manage resources has the potential to transform behavior. This transformation could assist in shifting patterns in resource utilization and governance towards sustainability. In Langkawi Island, the setting up of co-operative community resource management Komuniti Pengurusan Sumber Perikanan (KPSP) or formerly known as fishermen economic group Kumpulan Ekonomi Nelayan (KEN) in 2001 are significant attempt that emphasizes the value of local involvement in natural resource management. This study aims to establish the opportunities for learning afforded through the resource management initiatives and consider the learning outcomes from such opportunities as observed from KPSP committees in selected fishing communities in the Island. In particular, concepts from transformative learning theory are applied to understand how interaction among adults through participation in resource management can promote learning and social change. The findings from this study indicated a number of motivators and challenges of learning such as opportunities for dialogues, leadership and changes in behavior at community level.
