Upeh Island (Malay : Pulau Upeh) is an islet located 600 metres off the coast of the town of Klebang in the Malaysian state of Malacca (2 kilometres before land reclamation). [1] [2] It used to be one of the places in the state with the highest number of hawksbill turtle landings and nesting sites. [3] But a series of ongoing land reclamation projects near the island cause rapid coastal erosion, degradation of its beach and a dwindling number of turtle landings at the islet for nesting and egg laying. [4] [5] A now-abandoned resort can be seen within the islet's dense forest. [6] [7]
