Presentation Outline Overview Proposal Obtaining land Coastal management Generating energy Green building methods Catering to tourists

Proposal 1. Resort – Mamam Beach

2. Extensions of current routes a treetop walk past swamps near the aquacultural farm a stop at the farm as a tourist destination

3. Improving tourist facilities around main routes lighting places to dispose waste rest areas/huts

Obtaining Land 1. Land reclamation expand the coastline to allow more space for resort 2. Clearing forested area clearing a section of forest near the beach suitable wood can be use in the construction of furniture in the resort

Coastal Management 1. Beach nourishment (soft engineering) medium sized sand grains and destructive waves raises coast level in the process of land reclamation prevents the destruction of the coast 2. Tidal turbines to reduce the impact of waves on coast reduces impact of waves on the shore prevents erosion of the shore

Generating Energy 1. Hydropower - Tidal use of turbines to generate electricity harness the power of waves that threaten to destroy the coast minimal biodiversity that might be damaged compared to other sites like Chek Jawa

2. Solar install panels around the mega resort storage system for energy harnessed in day so that it can be used in the night

Green-building methods 1. Energy efficiency 2. Water efficiency 3. Material efficiency

1. Energy efficiency i) light sensors placed in stairwells, toilets and corridors dim lights when there are no people present saves energy by reducing the use of energy as much as possible ii) renewable energy sources reduces or removes need to burn fuels to generate energy no contribution to global warming

2. Water conservation i) place bricks in the toilet cisterns throughout the resort reduces volume of water used to flush toilets conserves precious water

2. Water conservation ii) install toilet flushes which reuse water from basin to flush toilets or rainwater reusing water instead of wasting it high annual rainfall can be reused as water in toilet bowls

3. Conserving materials i) wood from trees for furniture in resort aesthetically pleasing, blends in with nature reuses the wood gained through clearing forested land near Mamam Beach ii) using recyclable/reusable products in the resort utensils, towels reduces the need to throw away materials, reduces waste

iii) food waste used as compost in forested areas and nature trails best way to help improve soil fertility while reducing waste produced

Catering to Tourists 1. Rest areas huts placed at regular intervals along all the adventure trails as indicated in the poster 2. Facilities for waste disposal recycling bins to be located at each rest area signs to indicate the next rest area and remind visitors to dispose of waste appropriately

3. Transport i) bicycles suitable for visitors to explore the island, especially places not accessible by other visitors ii) solar-powered vehicles will be used to transport visitors from one part of the island to another (eg. Jetty to resort) also for resort personnel/workers

4. Lighting street lights placed at regular intervals along the main trails provide lighting for night walks solar powered so that energy is renewable
