The coastal environment of Malaysia would be vulnerable to marine pollution because of the shallow water depth in the Strait of Malacca and the South China Sea. Studies on marine pollution and human life were carried out from 1995 to 1996 by cooperation of the scientists in Kagoshima University and University Agriculture Malaysia. Field studies were done at Port Dickson (Strait of Malacca) and Kuala Terengganu (South China Sea). The project included mercury contents, hydrocarbon distribution, heavy metals, organic matter in sea water and sediments. Benthic animals and plankton species were also examined for biological study in relation to marine pollution. We would like to focus attention on the mercury contents and organic carbon and nitrogen in the present report. Most of the mercury in sea water was inorganic mercury and there was an extremely small fraction of organic mercury. However, a chemical form of mercury in fish meat was organic mercury. Organic carbon and nitrogen concentrations in particulate matter in sea water and sediments were higher in the Malacca Strait compared with the South China Sea. Our data provides a baseline information on the state of marine pollution of the coastal waters of Malaysia.}, title = {マレーシア沿岸海域の海洋汚染と人間生活の調和}, year = {} }
