TASIK Berombak and the melaleuca forest around it are vital for regulating the natural ecosystem and flood control in Setiu, Terengganu, says a marine environment expert.
Assoc Prof Dr Jamilah Mohd Salim of Universiti Malaysia Terengganu (UMT) said the lake’s floor was made of a layer of peat soil, formed from the organic matter shed by the melaleuca trees.
