| Abstract: | Malaysia has very little experience in planting mangroves for restoration and protection of coastal areas. It has been found out that extensive mudflats along the western coast of the Peninsular Malaysia are devoid of vegetation. The area is still unstable to support natural succession due to active erosion and accretion occurring within the area. To facilitate mangrove rehabilitation activities along these areas, research on techniques of coastal stabilization prior to planting, especially in areas classified as highly eroded with strong wave actions was conducted. The stabilization of these coastal areas was done by placing a soft engineering structure (geotubes) at a predetermined distance towards seaward side. The area of mud-flats accumulated between geotubes and shoreline provide a suitable space for planting. Since mudflat is in liquid form, it provides poor anchorage for seedlings to grow and hence a research was initiated to examine innovative planting techniques for rehabilitating the sites. This paper discusses and elaborates on the innovative planting techniques of bakau species conducted at the study site in Sg Hj Dorani, Sg Besar, Selangor, Malaysia. |
