Abstract

This study aims to provide a preliminary checklist of mangrove species and their associates in Cherating, Kuantan, Pahang. The findings provided in this study were obtained at the designated sampling location in Cherating, Kuantan, Pahang. The samples were pressed, dried and mounted on herbarium sheet before being processed into herbarium voucher specimens. All specimens were deposited in the Herbarium Department of Plant Science, International Islamic University Malaysia. A significant outcome of this research was the identification and documentation of a diverse range of mangrove species in the Cherating region. This study successfully recorded 20 species that are classified as true mangroves and an additional 16 species that are recognised as associates of mangroves. This comprehensive list of species represents a crucial step forward in understanding the mangrove ecosystem in Cherating. The implications of these findings are substantial, particularly in terms of their potential utility for future scientific inquiries and environmental conservation efforts of the vital mangrove ecosystem.
