What methods are used to monitor the environmental impact of the project?

Environmental monitoring involves coral and fish reef monitoring, seawater monitoring using a turbidity device, air quality checks, and noise level assessments. These measures ensure that construction activities do not severely affect the environment.

What kind of construction activities were performed during the Bali Beach Conservation Project?

The project involved the construction of groins, sea walls, drainage systems, walkways, bridges, and landscaping, including gazebo construction. These efforts were aimed at reducing beach erosion and enhancing public infrastructure.

What kind of stone and material transportation was involved in the project?

Materials like armor limestone were transported by barge, dump trucks, and excavators. The process involved unloading materials at the site and using them for groin and seawall construction.

How were the beaches refilled with sand as part of the project?

Beaches were refilled using sand obtained through seismic methods to identify suitable borrow areas. Sand was dredged from these areas and transported to the beach using treasure ships and spray systems.

What were some key environmental protection measures implemented in the project?

Key measures included installing geotextiles to prevent sand loss during construction, monitoring water turbidity, and ensuring that noise and air quality were within acceptable limits. Seawalls and groins were designed to protect temples and nearby areas from erosion.
