Five sampling stations adjacent to a thermal coastal power plant station (Sultan Azlan Shah Power Station) in Manjung and eight sampling stations surrounding the PNP were selected in this study.

Bacillariophyta was the most common phytoplankton group found in Manjung (96.94%) and in PNP (95.63%), followed by Dinophyta (Manjung: 0.59%; PNP: 3.74%), Cyanophyta (Manjung: 0.32%; PNP: 0.57%) and Chlorophyta (Manjung: 2.15%; PNP: 0.06%).
