Abstract

Coral reefs in Malaysia are vital ecosystems that support marine biodiversity, protect coastlines, and contribute to local economies. However, many reefs remain uncharted due to the logistical and technological challenges of traditional mapping methods. This study explores the application of advanced geospatial techniques for mapping uncharted coral reefs in Malaysia, focusing on the Pahang coastal region. The integration of satellite imagery, Geographic Information System (GIS), and underwater photogrammetry enhances the resolution and scope of mapping efforts. This research highlights the potential of geospatial techniques to revolutionise reef exploration and conservation in Malaysia, promoting sustainable management of marine resources.
