Materials and Methods Study Area Jeram and Remis Beaches are located in West Coast of Peninsular Malaysia (3o13’27”N‚ 101o18’13”E) (Figure1) where semidiurnal tides prevail. The distance between Jeram Beach and Remis Beach is approximately 2 km. The selected study areas comprise approximately 55 ha of intertidal mudflats area. The selection of these sites was based on past history of shorebirds counts reported by Wetland Internationals in 1999-2004 (Li et al 2007) which shows that these sites was

Liverpool landing stage on its east bank and the Woodside and Seacombe landing stages on its west bank. The River has the world’s fourth highest tidal range with up to 10 meter high spring tides and 7 meter high neap tides. Due to the narrowing of the river from over 3 miles wide in parts and the size of the tides‚ speeds of water behind all three landing stages can regularly get up to 7 Knots (8MPH). This causes numerous under currents around all three of the landing stage areas and can sweep a person
