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.
