This paper present the potential sites around coastal area of Malaysia for electricity generation by harnessing tidal energy. As the electricity demand increase over the year and generating electricity by using fossil fuel caused the increase number in CO2 emission, thus renewable energy become one of the solution for alternating energy for electricity. There are a few of identified locations along Malaysia’s coastal area that have potential for tidal energy implementation. The approaching for harnessing tidal energy are by using tidal barrage approach which are consist three types of mode generation ebb-mode, flood-mode and double-mode. The output generations are calculated by identify the size of basin at identified locations. For suitable location identification is by using geographical map and bathymetry map. At the end, the identified location that suitable for harnessing tidal energy are Pulau Langkawi, Pulau Pinang, Lumut, Miri, Kota Kinabalu, Kudat, Lahad Datu, Tawau and Labuan.

Under the energy crisis, the development of new energy has become one of the top issues for countries in the world. In-stream tidal power is a young generation technology to exploit the tidal energy, whose potential has been attached great importance to by many countries. Turbine is the core components of the in-stream tidal power generation system. In this paper the relatively mature technology is summarized extensively. Recent years many countries have pay a lot of attentions to in-stream tidal power and set the future development goals. For both the development stage and installed capacity China have a larger gap with western foreign, but the research of the in-stream tidal power device in China already has made great progress, and the development of in-stream tidal power generation technologies has show great advantages in the protection of the environment, sustainable development of economic and social and mitigation of the energy crisis.

Structure and physiognomy of mangrove strongly influenced by the zonation that occurred in the area of mangroves growth. The differences of zona growth will effect  to differences in the structure and composition of vegetation. There are three zones in the mangrove area, which is caused by the difference of flooding which also resulted in the difference to the salinity. The differences of growth zone will performed to the type vegetation performance (Physiognomy). This study is aims to prove the mangrove’s physiognomy that taken in the coastal area of Rempang Cate  Batam, on March 2014 to June 2014. This study was a survey with data collection using a vertical transect plots 100 m. Based on the research that has been done obtained difference vegetation physiognomy stands for every level of growth in each zone growth. Proximally found 13 species of mangroves in 8 families. The results of the analysis of the vegetation on the trees growth level are, Ceriops decandra have the greatest significance important value 167.55% on sapling (juvenille ) level is dominated by Rhizophora apiculata 120%, and seedling growth level dominated by Rhizophora apiculata  186.80%. Keywords: Structure and physiognomy, mangrove zonation
