Abstract

Coastal reclamation activities on the coastline of Johor, which are underway seen to be affecting the quality of coastal waters and rivers nearby. Therefore, this study was undertaken to monitor and identify the extent to which the assumptions say that the water quality will be affected by the results of the coastal reclamation activities. After a couple of water sampling locations are identified, reading the parameters of water quality were conducted. The results of the monitoring conducted found that the water qualities in that area are in good condition.
