The new discoveries in the Grand Cul-de-Sac Marin are of a completely different nature. Following reports in 2012, surveys were organized: a sample of 160 lithic pieces scattered on the seabed between 2.50 m and 4 m deep was taken more than 1 km offshore. It is macrolithic tools in andesite. The most spectacular are axes blades and abrasive tools such as grinding stones, grinders, mortars and circular polishers. There are also elongated pebbles bearing percussion marks attesting to their use as hammers. The status of this vast deposit is still undetermined.

    The Needs of Sustainability Solid Waste Management in Perhentian Island, Terengganu Siti Aisyah Saat, University Malaysia Terengganu, Malaysia The European Conference on Sustainability, Energy & the Environment 2017 Official Conference Proceedings Abstract Malaysia is blessed with many idyllic tropical islands favoured by many an ecotourist. Perhentian Island, located in the South China Sea at the northeastern corner of Peninsular Malaysia, has been one of the favorites whose tourism activities have increased considerably. The recent annual tourist arrival for the island is about sixty thousands, compared to a local population of only one thousand three hundreds residing in the only village on the island. Located about 21 km offshore, the 15 km island has seen its number of resorts grow from five (~100 rooms) in 1985 to more than forty now (~1200 rooms ).With growth comes the problem of managing the solid waste generated by the island’s tourism industry. The large amount of wastes produced by tourist is a difficult problem for small islands particularly since it is typically generated over a short period, thereby often overloading existing disposal and treatment facilities. Onsite burying of solid waste that was practiced during its early days of tourism business is no longer suitable and sustainable due to land scarcity. The current practice of hauling the waste to be landfilled on the mainland 21 km away is viewed by many to be uneconomical and is putting unwanted stress on the fast-shrinking landfill space. The local authority administering the island is now looking for a better way of managing this waste. Therefore, protection of the environment from pollution is extremely important in small island, since aside from other reasons that are common to all countries, two important industries, tourism and fisheries, depend on a pristine environment.

The announcement was made at the IUCN World Parks Congress 2014 taking place in Sydney, Australia. The IUCN Green List of Protected Areas is the only global standard of good practice for protected areas. It aims to recognise and promote success in managing some of the most valuable natural areas on the planet. The first 23 successful sites have been selected among 50 candidates put forward by the eight countries as part of the first phase of the Green List. “The IUCN Green List will define success for protected areas,” says Julia Marton-Lefèvre, IUCN Director General. “It is about recognizing those sites that successfully respond to the challenges of the 21st century and contribute to the wellbeing of people and nature.” The sites have been evaluated against a set of demanding criteria, including the quality of protection of natural values. They should demonstrate fair and transparent sharing of the costs and benefits of conservation, effective management and long-lasting conservation outcomes.

GHANI1, KHOO T.T.I & GRAPES, R.2 Department of Geology University of Malaya 50603, Kuala Lumpur 2School of Earth Sciences Victoria University of Wellington New Zealand Abstract: Mesozoic mafic dykes in the Perhentian islands and their surrounding area can be divided into two types, based on their field occurrence, i.e. the older and younger dykes. The older dykes are synplutonic to their felsic host and the younger dykes post date their felsic host. The younger dykes, which are more abundant, are mainly doleritic in composition and are similar to those found throughout the Eastern Belt of Peninsular Malaysia. They are made up of plagioclase, clinopyroxene, amphibole, iron ore and chlorite. The silica content of the dykes is between 47.17 to 53.7% and can be classify as basalt, trachybasalt and basaltic trachyandesite. Geochemical study shows that the younger dykes formed in a continental within plate tectonic setting. INTRODUCTION GENERAL GEOLOGY One of the Mesozoic igneous events in the Eastern The Perhentian and Redang islands are situated at the Belt of Peninsular Malaysia is the intrusion of mafic northern part of the Eastern Belt of Peninsular Malaysia magmatism as dykes. These dykes are without doubt the and west of the Tertiary Malay Basin. The Perhentian most neglected aspect of the igneous province in Peninsular islands consist of several islands, the biggest of which are Malaysia.

  • Annotated Checklist of Avifauna in Pulau Bidong, Malaysia
    Journal of Sustainability Science and Management ISSN: 1823-8556 Volume 13 Number 1, June 2018 : 105-118 © Penerbit UMT ANNOTATED CHECKLIST OF AVIFAUNA IN PULAU BIDONG, MALAYSIA ABDULMAULA HAMZA1,* GERTRUDE DAVID2, ANUAR MCAFEE3 AND MOHD TAJUDDIN ABDULLAH2 1School of Marine and Environmental Sciences, Universiti Malaysia Terengganu, 21030 Kuala Nerus, Terengganu 2Institute of Tropical Biodiversity and Sustainable Development, Universiti Malaysia Terengganu, 21030 Kuala Nerus, Terengganu *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract: Avian diversity study focusing on islands in Malaysia is generally scarce compared to the unsurprisingly wealth of information on mainland birds. Similarly, Pulau Bidong is one of these islands with scarce ornithological information. It is located to the northwest of Kuala Terengganu, East Coast Peninsular Malaysia. A series of field surveys were conducted on the island between August 2014 and August 2016, using both point counts and mist netting methods to assess the bird species diversity at coastal area and within the forest canopy of the island. Unpublished data from 2006 were also added as it covers the Bidong trail area. Our results indicate that the total count is 26 species, belonging to 18 families and 23 genera. This species list is not exhaustive because the survey did not cover the main migration season from October to February, when it coincides with the monsoon season and rough weather. Further surveys will be needed to cover the nearby small islands in the archipelago. Keywords: Pulau Bidong, South China Sea. Island, bird diversity Introduction islands have a very important ecological role (Cronk 1997). The state of Terengganu has some Islands have fascinated biologists for a long 17 islands of different sizes and morphology time.
