About COASTADV

We strive to be your trusted coastal advisor locally and internationally.

We are a coastal advisory firm specialising in Blue Economy development and coastal resiliency, helping clients navigate complex coastal and marine projects with confidence.

Our purpose

We advise nearly all stakeholders from government to private sectors to NGOs.

We deliver strategic advisory, forward-looking initiative, and sustainable solutions; rooted in our expertise of coastal hydraulic impact assessment, marine engineering, flooding, erosion, sedimentation, dredging, reclamation, climate change adaptation, integrated shoreline management, coastal hazard risk management, and nature-based solutions.

WHY US

We bring a unique combination of international expertise and deep local knowledge of Malaysian coastal environments.

Our early-stage engagement approach sets us apart from traditional consultants, ensuring your project is built on a solid foundation from the very beginning.

01

We offer long term values through program and technical partnership.

02

Unlike conventional consultants who come in only at the design or EIA stage, we engage early—during conceptual and planning phases—helping you shape resilient, sustainable, and investment-ready projects from Day One.

03

Our strategic inputs ensure you make informed decisions based on site suitability, layout optimisation, regulatory requirements, and coastal hazards—critical factors often overlooked in early stage but essential for long-term success.

04

Our advisory is made possible from our extensive understanding and past project experience along the shoreline of Sabah, Sarawak, throughout Malaysia, and internationally.
