Cross shore profile change of Desaru Beach
Coastal erosion has attracted serious attention from the government of Malaysia. The changes in land use along the east coast of Johor due to rapid development and mining activities have caused short and long term effects on shoreline evolution. This study analyse the beach profiles of Desaru beach,...
