This is a Port of Entry. For full details on clearance into and out of Malaysia see Formalities.
If this is your first port of entry for Malaysia, you need to check in with the Marine Department first, followed by Immigration then Customs followed by Quarantine, known as MAQIS (only if coming from another country).
All of the islands of eastern Johor are under the jurisdiction of the Johor State Government under Taman Laut Sultan Iskandar (TMSI). Before you can enter the Johor Islands, you have to check into Mersing port to do the formalities with the Marine Department, Immigration and Customs.
Prior to arriving in Mersing, you must write to the Marine Park officials for permission to visit the islands by yacht and also to seek permission to dive if that is what you intend to do.
See this report from Sail Malaysia with information on permit requirements for Malaysia's east coast marine park islands.
