Coastal environmental profile of South Jahore, Malaysia. Technical pub. series 6
Malaysia's South Johore region has undergone rapid development recently, seriously damaging its ecologically sensitive and important coastal resources. The report profiles the area's coastal environment and identies major environmental problems, as well as chief obstacles to sustainable development. Chapter 2 describes South Johore's physical environment, physiography, climate, and geology. Chapters 3-7 cover in detail the area's natural resource endowment; coastal ecosystems; population and socioeconomics; land use; and fisheries and aquaculture. Chapter 8 focuses on economic sectors other than aquaculture, including agriculture, forestry, livestock, shipping, industry, and transportation, while Chapter 9 covers tourism and its potential impact on South Johore's ecology. Chapter 10 reviews the major types of environmental degradation in the region, including various types of coastal pollution, forest destruction, and coastal erosion. The laws, regulations, and institutions that govern environmental management are covered in Chapter 11. Chapter 12 concludes the report with an overview of the chief constraints to effective environmental management.
