Kapas Island is one of the island
which situated at the Terengganu Malaysia. Kapas Island situated offshore about 6km off
the coast of Marang and 30 minutes taken by slow boat or 10 minutes by fast
boat from Marang jetty, 20 minutes south of Kuala Terengganu to reach this
island. Kapas Island name is attributed to the pure white beaches that are the
trademark of this island where the sand is soft and white and slopes gently
into the crystal clear water. It is a lovely small island with beautiful,
quiet, unspoiled sandy beaches; cool and clear blue waters, swaying coconut
trees and caves with swallow’s nests. Its waters are home to beautiful marine
life such as fish, turtles, corals and others. Making it a must-visit
destination, especially for discerning divers and snorkellers, is the
incredible variety of hard and soft corals, seashells, fish and turtles.
This study objective is mainly to
determine the condition of the water bodies around the Kapas Island. In order
to achieve this objective, the water parameter like plankton (phytoplankton,
zooplankton and apilithic), benthos (invertebrates) and coral cover was
measured.
