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.

Geochemistry of Mafic Dykes from Perhentian and Redang Islands

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.

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.

The surveys are a continuation of a successful National Reef Check Survey Programme that has now run for thirteen years. 2. The surveys were carried out by trained volunteers as well as government officials from Marine Parks Malaysia, reflecting commitment from the Government in further improving management of Malaysia’s coral reefs. Surveys were carried out on several islands off Peninsular Malaysia’s East and West coast, covering both established Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) and non-protected areas, and in various parts of East Malaysia, both Sabah and Sarawak. 3. The results indicate that the Malaysian coral reefs surveyed have a relatively high level of living coral, at 40.63% (2018: 42.42%).

© Lonely Planet 305 Terengganu Some places evoke a colour. In this case Terengganu is, far and away, blue. The rich robin’s- egg blue of big skies bending under clear, bright sunlight. The deep, royal blue of the ocean running behind ferries to tropical paradise. The turtle-dotted teal of shallow lagoons and horseshoe bays lapping the sugar sands in Pulau Perhentian (the Perhentian Islands). And the organic, vegetative green-blue of Lake Kenyir, vine-shrouded in its jungle womb. Blue is a cooling colour, and the general laid-back vibe of Terengganu makes for a cool- ing escape – something about the slow pace of life makes relaxed sighs some of the most common means of communication here. Most travellers come to the state for an island experience, and they’re in the right spot: some of the best beaches in the country can be found on Pulau Perhentian, Pulau Redang and Pulau Kapas. Divers in particular are well cared for here, but if you’re up for doing nothing at all, Terengganu will indulge your indolence. But don’t completely dismiss mainland Terengganu from your exploration. This is one of the most ethnically Malay states in the country, and you have the opportunity here to engage the Malay people at, simultaneously, their most traditional, their most evolving – note the waves of modernity replacing the traditional stilt houses of Kuala Terengganu, the capital, with air-con condos – and their most Islamic. They’re also, we’d note, at their most friendly when dealing with travellers who’ve wandered off the beach.

Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September, 2008 Abstract The chemical contamination of sea turtles is an emerging area of conservation research. Chemicals, such as persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and heavy metals, have a wide range of harmful effects on animals and humans and are beginning to be reported in sea turtle populations around the world. However, prior to the present study, research on chemical contamination in sea turtles had generally been limited to studies on deceased animals. Furthermore, the analytical methods used in these studies had limited sensitivity and reported small numbers of compounds. The main objectives of this thesis were therefore to further develop methods for measuring POPs in sea turtles and to systematically investigate some of the important aspects of accumulation and transfer of POPs and heavy metals in the green sea turtle, Chelonia mydas. Gas chromatography with electron capture detection (GC-ECD) has generally been used to analyse POPs in sea turtle studies.

Mist nets were deployed at understorey level (>5 m) and canopy level (> 10 m for Setiu and > 15 m for Kenyir). Point Count was conducted at a 1 km distance and birds from the canopies and understorey were observed. A total of 106 individuals representing 26 species of migratory birds were recorded through mist netting and point count method throughout this period. The most abundant number of individuals came from the family Ardeidae with a total of 40 individuals (38%) from five species which are the Ardeola bacchus (Chinese Pond Heron), Egretta garzetta (Little Egret), Ixobrychus cinnamomeus (Cinnamon Bittern), Ixobrychus sinensis (Yellow Bittern) and Ardea cinerea (Grey Heron). While the second most abundant individuals came from the family Meropidae with only one species which is the Merops viridis (Blue-throated bee-eater) with a total of 20 (19%) individuals. According to Rajpar & Zakaria (2013), different habitat types will attract specific species of migratory birds based on vegetation structure and composition, food resources and microclimatic conditions that provide abundant resources for their survival.
