Abstract
The H2O (Highland to Ocean) Songsong-Jerai Expedition was jointly organized by the Department of Marine Park Malaysia and USM's Centre for Marine and Coastal Studies (CEMACS) to document the biodiversity of both marine and terrestrial that were found in the area. The study area encompasses the land area of Gunung Jerai, the coastal region and the marine and islands of the Songsong Group in the state of Kedah. Experts from various fields of biodiversity research joined the expedition; members were from universities, government agencies, NGO's and also individual researchers. In this expedition, a total of 43 marine species inclusive of commercial species, 63 species of plants and 15 species of organisms were recorded. The number of species shows that the area is still diverse and many more undiscovered hidden are yet to be discovered. Effective management would restore the ecosystem and provide a suitable economy to the community who are depended on it for their living.
