The introduction of the marine cadastre in Malaysia is still in its infancy even up to date compared to other countries such as Australia, United States and Canada where the country has already been approaching with the introduction of marine cadastre in advance of us. The concept of marine cadastre in Malaysia is only given to certain marine agencies but not all agencies related to other sectors in marine will be given to the concept of marine cadastre. This is because not all marine stakeholders come to the awareness of the marine cadastre and are still blurred by the definition of marine cadastre in the Malaysian environment as well as the lack of legislation to implement it.
