It is located in Seri Manjung‚ between Ipoh and Lumut road‚ approximately 10 minutes travelling from Lumut town. This park was built in May 1994 and was opened to the public in May 1995. In 2005‚ the park was preserved. It has a 336-meter long and 6-metre wide track spanning the mangrove swamp. At the end of the track it has two shelters for the visitors

for these plants would not be possible. Next is the dispersal of seeds through water. Take the mangrove plants for instance. Mangroves spread propagules with flexible degrees of embryonic development while the propagule is attached to the parent tree. The shape of the propagule differs on the type of mangrove (red‚ white‚ black). A coconut‚ which is a large seed itself‚ in junction with the mangroves‚ uses water. Despite the size‚ a coconut can still float through water; At times traveling across

Hard Engineering Seawalls How it is designed to overcome the problem Sea walls are usually built along the front of cliffs‚ often to protect settlements. A seawall is a structure constructed parallel to the coastline that shelters the shore from wave action. This structure has many different designs; it can be used to protect a cliff from wave attack and improve slope stability and it can also dissipate wave energy on sandy coasts. Challenges /Limitations /Disadvantages However‚ a seawall may not

Landforms by Erosion (erosion is the main process) * High-energy waves * Rocks that are easily eroded 1) Cliff and shore platforms Point : A cliff is a high‚ steep rock face along the coast. Explanation: A cliff is formed when waves repeatedly pound against a rocky coast Elaboration: This weakens the rock‚ causing the lines of weakness to form in the rock face * Over time‚ the waves erode the coast to cut a notch along the lines of weakness. * The notch may be further
