Pulau Ubin Beachfront Resort Dexter Kuah (2o106) Samuel Yu (2o124) Tan Ming Shi (2o127) Darren Wong (2o131)

Resort Location Maman Beach There is plenty of space for the coastline to be extended by land reclamation Already altered by people to make it more convenient to unload cargo Minimal additional damage to the ecosystem

We will also be clearing the trees in the surrounding areas but trees and various sorts of plants will be planted all around the resort to replace these felled trees Timber will be used for flooring to make sure the trees are not felled for nothing

Land reclamation Land reclamation is the process where useless land is reclaimed and turned into land that can be used Land reclamation will allow the resort to be built with minimal damage to the island itself as we will be using a fairly unproductive patch of the seabed instead

Importance of coastal management Waves can erode the coastline and can destabilise any structures built on it Proper management of the coast is essential for any beachfront resort

Coastal management To protect the coast, we will be using wooden groynes as a temporary measure An artificial coral reef will be grown to replace the wooden groynes Groynes are inexpensive and coral reefs are “green” as they are natural, renewable They also require zero maintanence as the coral will replace itself

Steps that need to be taken Perform more detailed surveys of area to ensure minimal environmantal impact Clean up the beaches Clean up the water around the beach Use beach nourishment to extend the coastline

Resort features Concrete to build the structure as concrete is sturdy and strong Plant greenery all around to go with “green theme” Use bamboo to build the furniture as it is fast growing

Resort features Solar panels on roofs to minimize space used and to go along with “green theme” Solar panels is renewable and abundant Energy produced by solar panels can be stored for a rainy day

Energy-saving practices Appliances can only be used, switched on when card key is inserted into slot at the door This will ensure that energy will not be wasted if the appliances are accidentally not switched off and the user is not around

Green practices Energy-saving light bulbs will be used instead of the conventional ones These light bulbs are as efficient as conventional ones and save much more energy

Green practices Water from showers and taps will be used to flush toilets Minimize water usage, which goes along with “green” theme

Green practices Recycling bins will be placed all over the resort Posters will be put up all over to encourage the customers to minimize waste Rooms that uses the least water, throws away wins prizes such as free lunch or dinner

Attractive features The main attraction will be the beach sports Banana boat rides Coral reef exploration when the artificially planted reef has grown

Attractive features Nearby Chek Jawa allows tourists to get up close to wildlife when low tide Jejawa tower in Chek Jawa is a good spot for bird watchers and provides a good view of the island

Attractive features We will be negotiating with Outward Bound Singapore to organize some activities for the people at the resort Outward Bound is internationally recognized and hence can attract people Free rides to Outward Bound daily on solar-powered vehicles
