MuHydro3D, non-orthogonal boundary fitted three dimensional ocean hydrodynamics model in spherical coordinate, was applied to assess the impact of reclamation to water current and salinity in Benoa Bay. The comparison between results of simulation and observations before reclamation are excellent. The simulation results indicate that the water current in the mouth of the bay will decrease significantly. It will cause the longshore sediment will be deposited in the mouth of the bay. The simulation results show significant change of salinity in the bay, which will impact the mangrove ecosystem of the bay.
