This has caused an increase of pressure to coastal ecosystems. Like any other countries, the land reclamation had become the best method in Malaysia to extend shoreline areas for the economic growth. This technique is widely used in countries facing land scarcity. However, due to its poor management, it has caused another impact on the nearest marine environment and the local community. The rapid development on accommodations and infrastructures in Malacca has made the state government to approve the reclamation projects in the coastal area. Nevertheless, the project has brought adverse impacts to the coastal and socio-cultural environment as such as threatening in hawk’s bill sea turtle landing. The initiatives to form policies to conserve and protect the coastal zone have been started in the early 20th century and Malaysia management initiative was a problem-based and reactive approach to resource degradation and international commitments. In fact, the demand to protect and conserve the coastal resources and marine environments were under the 6th and 9th Malaysia Plan. The purpose of this study is to review the present law associated with coastal reclamation with the latest updates from the government’s initiatives to achieve sustainable coastal development in Malaysia.
