Determination of Mangrove Adequacy as Natural Coastal Defence Against Wave Dynamics Using Remote Sensing Analysis for Southern Kedah Coastline

Malaysia had been hit by the Indian Ocean Tsunami (IOT) 2004 which has took 68 lives of Malaysia and thousands lives from the other affected countries. Kedah was one of the most affected states in northern Peninsular Malaysia. It is proved that less severe damaged found at area with presence of m...

Kedah was one of the most affected states in northern Peninsular Malaysia. It is proved that less severe damaged found at area with presence of mangroves fringe on its coastline.
