  • Urban Tropical Ecology in Singapore Biology / Environ 571A
    URBAN TROPICAL ECOLOGY IN SINGAPORE BIOLOGY / ENVIRON 571A Course Description (from Duke University Bulletin) Experiential field oriented course in Singapore and Malaysia focusing on human ecology, tropical diversity, disturbed habitats, Asian extinctions, and resource management. Students spend approximately three weeks in Singapore/Malaysia during the spring semester. Additional course fees apply. Faculty: Dr. Dan Rittschof, Dr. Tom Schultz General Description Singapore is a fascinating combination of biophysical, human and institutional ecology, tropical diversity, disturbed habitats, invasive species and built environments. Within the boundaries of the city state/island of Singapore one can go from patches of primary rain forest to housing estates for 4.8 million plus residents, industrial complexes, and a port that processes between 800 and 1000 ships a day. Singapore's land area grew from 581.5 km2 (224.5 sq mi) in the 1960s to 704 km2 (271.8 sq mi) today, and may grow by another 100 km² (38.6 sq mi) by 2030. Singapore includes thousands of introduced species, including a multicultural assemblage of human inhabitants. Singapore should be in the Guinness Book of World Records for its increase in relative country size due to reclamation, and for the degree of governmental planning and control for the lives of its citizens. It is within this biological and social context that this experiential field oriented seminar will be conducted. Students will experience how this city state functions, and how it has worked to maintain and enhance the quality of life of its citizens while intentionally and unintentionally radically modifying its environment, in the midst of the extremely complicated geopolitical situation of Southeast Asia.

    GRAND BANKS YACHTS LIMITED (Company Reg. No.: 197601189E) 274 Upper Bukit Timah Road #03-16 Singapore 588213 SGX-Listed Grand Banks Yachts Hosts Shareholders at Redeveloped Yard in Johor, Malaysia Grand Banks’ shareholders at the Pasir Gudang yard SINGAPORE, 23 November 2017 – Shareholders of Grand Banks Yachts Limited (“Grand Banks” or the “Group”) toured its manufacturing facility in Pasir Gudang, a town at the eastern end of the Johor Bahru metropolitan area, for a behind-the-scenes look at the Group’s two world-renowned luxury boat brands. At the 380,000-square feet yard, senior executives of the Group – including Chief Executive Officer Mark Richards and Managing Director Hank Compton – briefed the audience of 50 on how Grand Banks and Palm Beach boats are built from start to finish. The Group has been focusing on fresh boat designs and improved production processes as part of efforts to drive growth following the acquisition of Palm Beach Motor Yachts in August 2014. It achieved a net profit of S$0.6 million for the three months ended 30 September 2017, a three-fold rise from S$0.2 million a year ago. The Pasir Gudang yard has undergone a major revamp and now features new automation, streamlined operations, a sheltered test pool and more usable covered space. The enhancements are expected to lift Group-wide utilisation rates, expand production capacity and shorten the production cycle. Mr. Mark Richards said: “This tour is part of our commitment to maintaining a direct line of communication with shareholders. We are delighted that they have taken a strong personal interest in the Group and we hope to have more of such interactions with investors in future.” Media Release – SGX-Listed Grand Banks Yachts Hosts Shareholders At Redeveloped Yard in Johor, Malaysia 23 November 2017 Page 2 of 2 _____________________________________________________________________________ Mr.
