Pulau Kukup, Sungai Pulai and Tanjung Piai were designated as Ramsar sites on 31 January 2003. Covering about 23,000 acres, the Ramsar site in Johor is the largest uninhabited mangrove island in the world. The Ramsar sites provide great opportunities for tourism activities. The location of three of Malaysia’s six Ramsar sites in Iskandar Malaysia gives IM a unique position in the eyes of the world because these areas are recognized worldwide as wetlands of international standing. What makes the Johor Ramsar sites unique is the concentration of 25 species of mangroves, which cannot be found anywhere else in the world, in all three sites.
