This book presents a current study of the vital value of ecology, perspective and strategies for sustainability in the future. The term resilience in this book has been chosen to reflect the robust interchangeability of environmental systems to continuously function and recover from a disturbance. Therefore, the book entitled âEcological Resilience: Sustainability, Mitigation and Adaptationâ has been chosen to discuss the recent study regarding sustainability, mitigation and adaptation towards ecology. There are eight chapters contained in this book. Chapter 1 describes the perspectives, strategies and applications in the current scenario whereas Chapter 2 elaborates on research conducted to quantify surface water quality within the three years of the COVID-19 endemic at one of the famous recreational beaches in Port Dickson, Malaysia. Chapter 3 analyzes the handline catches and the proportional length of maturity from North Maluku, Indonesia. Chapter 4 determines the concentration and distribution of nitrates, phosphates, organic matter, and phytoplankton abundance while evaluating the level of pollution in the coastal waters of Rupat Island, Indonesia. Chapter 5 explores the various plant-based pigments that the Malay community uses as natural dye colorants such as Bixa orellana (Annatto), Lawsonia enermis (henna), Garcinia mangostana (mangosteen), Areca catechu (betel nut), Hylocereus polyhizus (red pitaya), Morinda citrifolia (mengkudu), Clitoria ternatea (butterfly pea flower), and Caesalpinia sappan (sappan wood). Meanwhile, Chapter 6 explores the allelopathic properties of certain plants (Melaleuca cajuputi) from heath forest ecosystems as potential agents for sustainable landscape maintenance. Next, Chapter 7 discusses sustainable tourism: navigating ecosystems, communities, and technological frontiers for a harmonious future. Last but not least, Chapter 8 describes applied technology to absorb COâ, produce Oâ and culture biomass Chlorella using a Dahril bottle.
