SHAH ALAM, March 9 — The Selangor government is implementing coastal conservation and erosion control projects worth more than RM55 million to strengthen protection for coastal areas in Kuala Langat district.
The projects, carried out by the Department of Irrigation and Drainage (DID), involve coastal rehabilitation works as well as the construction of sea walls to address erosion at several key locations including Pantai Morib, Pantai Cunang and Pantai Tanjung Sepat.
