Klebang is a suburb of Malacca City and a mukim of Melaka Tengah District in the Malaysian state of Malacca.[1][2] Located along the Strait of Malacca, the town is rapidly developing due to a series of ongoing land reclamation projects in and around the town since the late 1990s. However, these projects have a serious impact on the town's coastal environment and the livelihood of the fishermen.[3][4][5]
