Mangrove distribution in Kilim River, Langkawi

Besides having commercial values, mangroves play major roles as coastal protection, buffer zone, and nursery grounds for various types of marine organisms. In Langkawi island, mangrove area stretched and occupied along the northeast coast of the island throughout the Kilim River, covered almost 48.0...
