About Tanjung Piai
Tanjung Piai is also known as “The Southernmost Tip of Mainland Asia”. Tanjung Piai is named after this fern locally
known as „Paku Piai‟. It is a type of fern that can live in salineconditions. Tanjung Piai is also home to many species of
mangrove plants and species of animals
According to Wetlands International, Johor holds 28.7% of
mangrove forest in Peninsular Malaysia and 4.7% of total
mangrove forest cover in Malaysia. Tanjung Piai covers 526
hectares of Mangroves and another 400 hectares of inter tidal
mudflats. Mudflats are soft and muddy soil.
It forms the only mangrove corridor that connects Pulau Kukup
and the Sungai Pulai wetlands. The mudflats however are
extensive, namely at the southern-most tip of Tanjung Piai. Five
species of large water birds and 7 species of shorebirds were seen
to be feeding on these mudflats. The mangroves of Tanjung Piai
have been conserved in the past for the protection of theshoreline, as the immediate hinterlands are all cultivated
farmlands.
