The coastal environmental profile of South Johore, Malaysia

Abstract

This profile provides baseline data on all aspects of South Johore's coastal environment as a tool for planners in designing an integrated coastal area management (CAM) plan. It contains 12 chapters which provide background information on the various economic uses of coastal resources; outline the existing legal and institutional framework governing the use and management of these resources; and highlight the management issues and constraints concerning the various resources use conflicts. It is hoped that this profile will serve as a basic database which can be further enriched by follow-up research.
