Abstract

Forty different mangrove species found their home in Sungai Merbok, Sungai Petani, Kedah, the highest among other mangrove ecosystems in Malaysia. This region is notable for its magnificent landscape and also rich environment, which the United Nations have recognised as one of the world's few significant biospheres. However, several species, particularly in Merbok, are threatened. Therefore, the objective of this project is to identify the mangrove species as the main bio-inspiration for the digital design patterns and to provide awareness of mangrove preservation and environmental sustainability. This research used an approach of pragmatic qualitative analysis to achieve the research outcomes.
