Introduction

This report purports to highlight what we learned from the trip to the land reclamation site and to suggest what could be done to prevent further damages to the environment.

The trip

As soon as we reached the north tip of our island, where the project was taking place, many of my classmates got captivated by the machinery used in the reclamation process. They were particularly marvelled to see how the dredgers work. We were briefed about the process, including how sand was collected from the seabed and sprayed on the site. Plus, we learned all the names and roles of the machinery and equipment involved.

However, most of us felt that the way the workers have been doing the work was utterly harmful to the environment. We observed them taking the bulky machinery over unrelated parts of the reef. Besides, we found that the piling of sand on vegetation was totally uncalled-for.

Recommendation

I am of the opinion that everyone should be more responsible when carrying out such projects so that the environmental impact could be minimised. In this regard, I believe that the excavator drivers should avoid pristine coral-crusted reef areas and opt sandy parts of the lagoon to move the diggers although it takes more time.  They also have a responsibility to avoid piling the sand on bushes and shrubs. For this to happen, the council must surely be more vigilant and accountable in overseeing such projects.

Introduction

This report aims to present what we learned from the visit to the land reclamation site as well as to ascertain the ways to minimize the negative environmental impacts due to the project.

The visit

We arrived at the site while the work was on-going and, to our amazement, it was quite a bit different from what we had expected. Almost everyone was thunderstruck to see how exactly the land was being reclaimed. It was simply fascinating to discover that sand from ocean floor was piled on the reef flat to enlarge the land surface. Moreover, as we learned about the machinery, we all deeply agreed that the dredger should get most of the credit as it does the carrying and piling of sand, which actually is the main idea of land reclamation. It will indeed be a golden contribution to our geography lessons.

Notwithstanding the boons, it was utterly saddening to see the once animate marine life now in tatters due to their recklessness. If only the workers were more cautious, less blight would be caused to the Mother Nature. It is absolutely senseless to ravage reef areas, other than the ones included in the project, just because we lack consideration.

Recommendation

In light of what we observed on the trip, I vehemently believe that the workers should be more cautious while driving across the reef and on land. Besides, it is high time the responsible personnel advised the workers to bypass the pristine reef when moving the machinery back and forth so as to avoid further damages to our ecosystem.

Introduction

The purpose of this report is to highlight what we learned from the trip to the land reclamation site and suggest things that can be improved in the future.

Eyesore 

Once we all arrived at the land reclamation site, most of us were appalled to see the beautiful beaches and coral reefs totally demolished because of land reclamation. Many students also complained about the carelessness of workers in moving the machinery over the newly grown vegetation and dumping sand on trees and coconut palms.

However, despite the problems, the vast majority of students were able to learn how the land reclaiming machineries were used and how the process was carried out. We all got the insight into the importance of the project for our future development due to our shortage of land.

Recommendation

Although the project seemed indispensable, no one would deny the fact that islands are beautiful only when the nature is unharmed. Therefore, we would like to recommend the workers to be more careful while moving the machinery and it would be great if they used only one area to pile the sand.
