This book presents the marine ecosystem in Malaysia which is dynamic, and is experiencing high pressure, especially from the effects of global warming due to climate change. Among the negative effects experienced by marine ecosystems today are changes in rainfall patterns around the world, increasing desert areas, rising sea levels due to the melting of glaciers in the north pole and the decline of biological diversity due to the extinction of species. Therefore, this book displays the important elements in the marine ecosystem in Malaysia, including the intermediate phase between the ocean and the land, namely mangrove areas, rocky beaches and sandy beaches. The priority of the content of this book is given to coral reef ecosystems and marine biological diversity. The attractive photos offer readers in the local community an amazing glimpse of marine life, hoping to spark interest and civic awareness of the importance of protecting the marine environment.
