Coastal vulnerability assessment for Selangor coastal, west coast of Malaysia using geospatial techniques / Amir Hafiz Mohd Rosli

The coast of peninsular Malaysia has a length of about 4,809 km. It shows that Malaysia have rich biodiversity and coastal resources. Therefore, the gift of natural wealth needs to be well preserved in order to last for generations to come. This paper aims to study the level of erosion and stagnatio...
