Improved planting techniques in rehabilitation degraded mangrove for coastal protection

Malaysia has very little experience in restoring and planting mangroves for conservation and coastal protection purpose. Extensive mudflats along the western coastof Peninsular Malaysia were found to be devoid of vegetation. The area is still unstable for natural succession to take place due to active erosion and accretion occservation and rehabilitation activities a research on techniques of coastal stabilization prior to planting especially in area classified as highly eroded with strong wave actions was conducted. The stabilization of these coastal area was done by placing a hard engineering structure geotubes at a predetermined distance from the sea. The area of mudflats accumulated between geotubes and shoreline provide space for planting. Since mudflat is in liquid form it provides poor anchorage for seedlings to grow and hence innovative techniques of planting mangrove species introduced and developed by FRIM at the study site in Sg Hj Dorami Sg Besar Selangor.

Abstract

Malaysia has very little experience in restoring and planting mangroves for conservation and coastal protection purpose. Extensive mudflats along the western coastof Peninsular Malaysia were found to be devoid of vegetation. The area is still unstable for natural succession to take place due to active erosion and accretion occservation and rehabilitation activities a research on techniques of coastal stabilization prior to planting especially in area classified as highly eroded with strong wave actions was conducted. The stabilization of these coastal area was done by placing a hard engineering structure geotubes at a predetermined distance from the sea. The area of mudflats accumulated between geotubes and shoreline provide space for planting. Since mudflat is in liquid form it provides poor anchorage for seedlings to grow and hence innovative techniques of planting mangrove species introduced and developed by FRIM at the study site in Sg Hj Dorami Sg Besar Selangor.
