Sediment plays a vital role in the marine ecosystem by acting as a repository for nutrients and serving as a habitat for diverse marine creatures. Gaining knowledge about the benefits of different forms of sediment, whether obtained from freshwater or saltwater sources, will help multiple companies that are directly linked to the marine ecosystem navigate more effectively. Comprehending the geographical variation in sediment quality is of utmost importance as it offers vital foundational data. Our new method aims to create a comprehensive database of coastal silt. Our solution gets significant advantages due to the scarcity of coastal sediment records, particularly in the northern region of Malaysia. This unique product will offer significant advantages to a wide range of clients, including municipal, governmental, and non-governmental groups, in terms of community benefits.. Overall, the invention is consistent with the Sustainable Development Goals established by the United Nations SDG 14: "Life below water," SDG 2: "Zero hunger," SDG 3: "Good health and well-being," and SDG 13: "Climate action”.
