		Causeways are most often used to connect the barrier islands with the mainland.
		Causeways affect currents and may therefore be involved in beach erosion or changed deposition patterns.

	Johor - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Johor
		Johor is mainly forested, with extensive areas of swamp, and for a long time inaccessibility hindered economic development.
		However, in 1919 the railway network of the Malay Peninsula was extended to Singapore, and large-scale plantation agriculture became established, producing rubber, palm oil, coconuts, and pineapples.
		Johor lacks deepwater harbours, so much of its international trade passes through Singapore, which is, in turn, dependent on Johor for much of its raw materials and for a water supply from the Teberau River.

		Johor Bahru — also spelled Johor Baru or Johore Baharu but universally called just JB — is the capital of the state of Johor in Malaysia, just across the Causeway from Singapore.
		JB's ferry terminal is called the Johor Bahru International Ferry Terminal and is located in "The Zon" duty free complex (locally referred to as "Duty Free") in Stulang Laut, 2 km east of the Causeway.

	SW: Causeway: a case for blackmail?
		So far, calls to demolish the Causeway have never received any official endorsement from Kuala Lumpur, although there can be no doubt they are allowed, and even encouraged, for their value in getting a point across to the southern neighbour, without breaching diplomatic etiquette.
		Even as some quarters called for the Causeway to be blown up, the federal government was going ahead with plans to expand it, ahead of its drive to promote Malaysia as a tourist destination.
		With some 300,000 cars using the Causeway each day, the Johor state goverment decided to ask the federal authorities for a share of the revenue, as, it argued, the Causeway had been a gift to the state from Sultan Ibrahim and the federal government had never had any part in the building of the Causeway.
