Presentation

The rapid erosion along the Terengganu coast is caused by several processes acting in concert. These are natural processes that occur frequently (monsoon storm), and anthropogenic activities such as airport runaway and coastal defences. This coast has experienced two monsoon periods per year, the northeast monsoon (monsoon storm) and the southwest monsoon.
