Article
Full-text available
The optimisation of spatial data mapping and management is pivotal in advancing oceanography research and safeguarding marine ecosystems. An internal Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) is needed for effective data management in an organisation. The main aim of this project is to establish an SDI for Pulau Bidong, Malaysia, utilising the Marine Geosp...

Estuarine fronts are formed due to sharp density discontinuities resulting from the convergence of different water masses. This study, conducted in May and August of 2022 during the southwest monsoon season, focuses on assessing the role of estuarine fronts at Kuala Terengganu estuary in the accumulation of microplastics in surface seawater. The Te...

Malaysia is bounded by the South China Sea with many islands that support species megadiversity and coral reef ecosystems. This study investigates the distribution of microplastics (MPs) in the surface water around the four marine park islands (Perhentian, Redang, Kapas, and Tenggol) during COVID-19. The global pandemic has reset human activities,...
Article
Microplastics (MPs) with the size of 1 μm-5 mm are pollutants of great concern ubiquitously found in the environment. Existing efforts have found that most of the MPs present in the seas mainly originated from land via riverine inputs. Asian rivers are known to be among the top in microplastic emissions. However, field data are scarce, especially i...

Decommissioning of the offshore platform as an artificial reef, known as Rigs-to-Reefs (R2R), has become a sustainable approach for oil companies. The platform was reused to serve the underwater ecosystem as an artificial reef for a new marine ecosystem which helps to tackle food security issue. This paper presents the findings of the formulation o...
Conference Paper
Reefing of Oil and Gas structure has become as one of the emerging options for decommissioning of an O&G Structure offshore and requires expert input beyond engineering such as biomarine and environmental sciences. This paper will present the interdisciplinary collaborative effort by industries with academia in Malaysia in developing a reef viabili...

This study aimed at documenting the potentially toxic metal levels in oysters from the aquaculture area of the Peninsular Malaysia east coast. Concentrations of essential (Zn and Cu) and non-essential (Pb and Cd) heavy metals were analyzed in total soft tissue, different sex, selected organs and shells of Crassostrea sp. from cultured and wild area...

Spatial distribution of selected metals (Al, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, and Co) in surface sediments in the EEZ of the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia was investigated. The aim of this paper is to determine the distribution pattern and pollution status of heavy metals in tropical shelf sediments since limited information is available. Heavy metal concentrat...
