Selat Johor is often viewed through the lens of ports, shipping lanes, and coastal development. Yet beneath its shallow waters exists a remarkable living network of more than 360 fish species from 85 families, along with vibrant mangrove, seagrass meadows, and hidden reefs that quietly sustain both nature and people.
This book uncovers a side of Selat Johor that is rarely seen-where familiar food fishes share space with 15 species newly recorded from Malaysia, rare seahorses, and other hidden specialists. It remains us that biodiversity does not only exist in distant or pristine seas, but also in places where human activity and nature coexist every day. As presures on coastal environments continue to grow, understanding what lives in this waters becomes more important than ever. The stories and science within these pages offer a foundation for appreciation, responsibility, and informed action. Protecting Selat Johor is not only about conserving fish and habitats-it is about safeguarding a shared natural heritage that supports fisheries, food security, and ecological resilience for generations to come.
