Geographical Location Amed, one of the subdistrict in Karangasem regency in the easternmost of Bali island, is 98 km (3-hour drive) away from Denpasar and 1-hour boat ride away from the Gili Islands in Lombok. Ame Karse, Aba BALI Ngu Ri Innil Air Denr LOMBOK Natural Resources Situated just 25 km from an active volcano - Mount Agung - Amed’s nutrient-rich soil is suitable for growing crops such as cassava and long beans. • The black sand makes Amed Beach so remarkably unique from other beaches. The sand’s color is due to the volcanic deposits in the coastal soil. It stays black year-round, a sharp contrast to the gold and white sand that hugs most of Bali’s coastline. • Meanwhile, the pristine water of Bali sea becomes the main material for one of Amed’s product, Amed Salt. • The reefs along the coast also attract divers and snorkelers. The water teems with various marine life. An aquatic adventure here will likely reveal tropical fish, sea turtles, coral gardens, and perhaps even the occasional shark.

The missing number might represent people who are studying or working outside of Amed and whom come back after a couple of years. We assume that this gap and exposure to other opportunities in other cities decreases their interest in salt-farming. Several cases of the youth leaving and coming back to Age proportions in Amed Amed People who lived outside Amed that we met: ● Bu Made Reni (Pak Suanda’s wife) worked and lived in Papua for two years prior to marrying Pak Suanda. ● Mita, (wife of a salt farmer) worked and lived outside Amed until 2 years ago. ● Wayan (Pak Suanda’s son) lives in Denpasar to study at the moment. ● Pak Telaga (a salt farmer)’s son currently works in the cruise, with the period of 8 months cruising and 2 months returning to Amed. ● Pak Ngetis (an ex-salt farmer)’s son currently works outside Amed as well.

Balinese Hinduism is deeply interwoven with art and ritual. It seeks harmony and balance. It also promotes self-control by ritualising, which is a notable feature of religious expression among the people. Religion and Culture Religion and culture play key roles in their life and it is something they care about.

The seas extend between approximately 12o S to 3o N and 110o to 132oE (Figure 1). The region separates the Pacific and Indian Oceans. Figure 1. Bathymetry of the Indonesian Archipelago. [Smith and Sandwell, 1997] Observations Indonesian Archipelago is most extensive archipelago in the world with more than 15,000 islands. The shallow bathymetry and the strong tidal currents between the islands give rise to the generation of internal waves throughout the archipelago. As a result there are a very 453 An Atlas of Oceanic Internal Solitary Waves (February 2004) Indonesian Seas by Global Ocean Associates Prepared for Office of Naval Research – Code 322 PO large number of internal wave sources throughout the region.

  • 1 Investigation of the Energy Potential from Tidal Stream
    INVESTIGATION OF THE ENERGY POTENTIAL FROM TIDAL STREAM CURRENTS IN INDONESIA Kadir Orhan1, Roberto Mayerle1, Rangaswami Narayanan1 and Wahyu Widodo Pandoe2 In this paper, an advanced methodology developed for the assessment of tidal stream resources is applied to several straits between Indian Ocean and inner Indonesian seas. Due to the high current velocities up to 3-4 m/s, the straits are particularly promising for the efficient generation of electric power. Tidal stream power potentials are evaluated on the basis of calibrated and validated high-resolution, three-dimensional numerical models. It was found that the straits under investigation have tremendous potential for the development of renewable energy production. Suitable locations for the installation of the turbines are identified in all the straits, and sites have been ranked based on the level of power density. Maximum power densities are observed in the Bali Strait, exceeding around 10kw/m2. Horizontal axis tidal turbines with a cut-in velocity of 1m/s are considered in the estimations. The highest total extractable power resulted equal to about 1,260MW in the Strait of Alas. Preliminary assessments showed that the power production at the straits under investigation is likely to exceed previous predictions reaching around 5,000MW. Keywords: renewable energy; tidal stream currents; numerical model; Indonesia INTRODUCTION The global energy supply is facing severe challenges in terms of long-term sustainability, fossil fuel reserve exhaustion, global warming and other energy related environmental concerns, geopolitical and military conflicts surrounding oil rich countries, and secure supply of energy. Renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, wave and tidal energy are capable of meeting the present and future energy demands with ease without inflicting any considerable damage to global ecosystem (Asif et al.

  • SESSION I : Geographical Names and Sea Names
    The 14th International Seminar on Sea Names Geography, Sea Names, and Undersea Feature Names Types of the International Standardization of Sea Names: Some Clues for the Name East Sea* Sungjae Choo (Associate Professor, Department of Geography, Kyung-Hee University Seoul 130-701, KOREA E-mail: [email protected]) Abstract : This study aims to categorize and analyze internationally standardized sea names based on their origins. Especially noting the cases of sea names using country names and dual naming of seas, it draws some implications for complementing logics for the name East Sea. Of the 110 names for 98 bodies of water listed in the book titled Limits of Oceans and Seas, the most prevalent cases are named after adjacent geographical features; followed by commemorative names after persons, directions, and characteristics of seas. These international practices of naming seas are contrary to Japan's argument for the principle of using the name of archipelago or peninsula. There are several cases of using a single name of country in naming a sea bordering more than two countries, with no serious disputes. This implies that a specific focus should be given to peculiar situation that the name East Sea contains, rather than the negative side of using single country name. In order to strengthen the logic for justifying dual naming, it is suggested, an appropriate reference should be made to the three newly adopted cases of dual names, in the respects of the history of the surrounding region and the names, people's perception, power structure of the relevant countries, and the process of the standardization of dual names.
