A Comparative study on sewage pollution in the coastal water of Port Dikson, Straites of Malacca and Terengganu, South China Sea

Abstract

Recent active coastal zone development in Port Dickson and Terengganu may lead to some degree of sewage pollution in the aquatic environment. Fourteen sampling stations were established for this study (4 stations in both Port Dickson and Terengganu coastal waters and 6 stations in Terengganu River estuary). In addition, three transects (beach, nearshore, offshore) were also established along the sampling stations in Port Dickson. There were three times visit to Port Dickson and Terengganu coastal stations and four times visit to Terengganu River estuary stations.
