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
Resort Location
• 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
