    (Elsevier, 1999) ABDUL RANI ABDULLAH; NORHAYATI MOHD. TAHIR; TONG SOO LOONG; TAFAZZAL MOHD. HOQUE; ABDUL HALIM SULAIMAN
    The Straits of Malacca is subjected to a great variety of environmental stresses due to its strategic location as a major international shipping lane and the concentration of agriculture, industry and urbanisation which predominate on the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia. This paper gives an overview of the study conducted in the Malacca Straits as part of the GEF/UNDP/IMO Regional Programme on the Prevention and Management of Marine Pollution in the East Asian Seas, in particular pertaining to the identification of land and sea-based sources of pollution in Malaysia which contributes to the pollution load in the Straits, as well as the assessment of the relative contribution of each source.
