Introduction
Brunei occupies a 130 km stretch of the northwestern coast of Borneo between longitudes 114°4' E and 115°9' E, which includes parts of the Baram Delta in its western section and the Brunei Bay in its eastern section. The continental shelf is 50–80 km wide and contains submerged sand shoals, rocky outcrops and patch reefs (Fig. 19.4.1 ). The main sources of information on Brunei’s coast include the works of Wilford (1961), Tate (1970, 1971), James (1984), Chua et al. (1987), Goh (1981) and Sandal (1996).
