The mean concentrations of ammonia, nitrate, total dissolved N and total particulate N were 43 µg/L N, 195 µg/L N, 485 µg/L N, 431 µg/L N, respectively. In contrast to N, lower mean concentrations of P were recorded with values of 2.30 µg/L P (dissolved inorganic P), 4.84 µg/L P (total dissolved P) and 8.35 µg/L P (total particulate P). In general, higher concentrations of nutrients were recorded in the middle and lower reaches of the river basin due to human activities. Elevated levels of both forms of nutrients were present during the wet season due to terrestrial run-off to the water column. -

Jalal 1Institute of Oceanography and Maritime Studies, International Islamic University Malaysia, 25200 Kuantan, Pahang, Malaysia 2Institute of Oceanography, Universiti Malaysia Terengganu, 21030 Kuala Terengganu, Terengganu, Malaysia Abstract: Surface sediments collected from seven estuarine mangrove forests of Terengganu region (100 sampling points) were anaylzed for Pb, Cu and Zn using the sensitive Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer (ICP-MS). The average concentration of Pb, Cu and Zn were 10.5±7.12 µg g−1 dry weights, 31.1±16.5 µg g−1 dry weights and 20.8±13.3 µg g−1 dry weights, respectively. The statistical analysis of Pearson correlation matrix has proved that there is a significant relationship between the metal concentration and the grain size. The concentration of Pb, Cu and Zn decreased with the decrease of mean size particle, suggesting their association with the fine fraction of the sediments. In this study, Enrichment Factors (EF) were calculated to assess whether the concentrations observed represent background or contaminated levels. The analysis suggests that all studied elements were considered to be dominantly terrigenous in origin. Data obtained also provides a scientific discovery and data for a better understanding and proper management of the mangrove forests of Terengganu. Key words: Surface sediment, lead, copper, zinc, mangrove forest, enrichment factor INTRODUCTION effects associated with the new developments. -

Assessing Challenges Facing the ECRL's Economic
ISSUE: 2021 No. 90 ISSN 2335-6677 RESEARCHERS AT ISEAS – YUSOF ISHAK INSTITUTE ANALYSE CURRENT EVENTS Singapore | 6 July 2021 Assessing Challenges Facing the ECRL’s Economic Accelerator Projects (EAPs) Tham Siew Yean and Kevin Zhang* A general view of the Dungun Tunnel is pictured during a ceremony at the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) project in Dungun, Terengganu, on 25 July 2019. On this day, Malaysia restarted a $10-billion, China-backed rail project.

Kevin Zhang is Research Officer of the Malaysia Studies Programme at ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute. The authors would like to thank Rebecca Neo for creating the GIS maps. 1 ISSUE: 2021 No. 90 ISSN 2335-6677 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • The East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) launched in 2017 to enhance connectivity between the west and east coast of Peninsular Malaysia was renegotiated and rebooted in 2019. It is currently proceeding on track, towards completion by 2027. • The Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA) launched Economic Accelerator Projects (EAPs) in 2019 to drive up demand for freight and passenger services by increasing economic activities along the ECRL routes, by means of industrial parks, and logistic hubs and Transit-Oriented Developments (TODs). • If industrial parks are to be used to attract investments to the less developed states in Peninsular Malaysia, reforms to local institutions and upgrading of the investment environment there will be needed. • Having inter-modal transportation centres such as dry ports and TODs along the ECRL route are promising; however, the location of these centres should be determined according to technical criteria, rather than by changes in administration. -

Recent Sedimentation Rate and Sediment Ages Determination of Kemaman-Chukai Mangrove Forest, Terengganu, Malaysia
American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences 3 (3): 522-525, 2008 ISSN 1557-4989 © 2008 Science Publications Recent Sedimentation Rate and Sediment Ages Determination of Kemaman-Chukai Mangrove Forest, Terengganu, Malaysia B.Y. Kamaruzzaman and M.C. Ong Institute of Oceanography and Maritime Studies, International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM), Jalan Istana, Bandar Indera Mahkota, 25200 Kuantan, Pahang, Malaysia Abstract: Two 20 cm sediment cores were collected with a D-section corer in the Kemaman-Chukai 210 210 mangrove forest and analyzed for Pbex (excess Pb) in order to understand the sedimentation pattern. The activities of 210Pb along with the 208Po tracer were measured by Alpha Spectrometry on a silicon surface barrier detector connected to a multi channel analyzer. Sedimentation rates were determined applying 210Pb dating method and found to vary between 0.94-1.11 cm year−1. The highest accumulation rates were recorded near the river mouth and the lowest rates at the downstream. Assuming that the sedimentation rate values are accurate, this implies that the sediments in the upper 100 cm at Kemaman-Chukai mangrove forest were deposited during the past 90 years ago. Key words: mangrove forest, sedimentation rate, sediment age, 210Pb INTRODUCTION term accretion rates using radionuclides have been well documented[6-8] but use of this approach has been not Mangrove forests are a buffer zone between the many published[5,9] and limited in the mangrove coast and the ocean. One of their presumed important ecosystems. In the present study, we use 210Pb to functions is to provide a mechanism for trapping estimate sediment accretion rates.
