Setiu Wetlands is located in the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia in the state of Terengganu. This unique and diverse wetland encompasses freshwater, brackish and marine environments with at least nine types of inter-connected ecosystems. The wetlands provide various ecosystem functions and services including flood control, erosion mitigation, nursery ground for juvenile marine fishes and supply of natural resources for the local population’s traditional livelihood. Furthermore, the wetlands also have great potential as an ecotourism destination that can generate economic returns to the local communities and to the State.
