PROJECT 5 : DEBATE

debate project was held at 14/11/2011 in our studio 300.. i'm in the same group as Amirul, Azilah, Sabariah, Hanisah and Kathy. our debate title is coastal development... i'm in the government side, so i have to come on benefits of coastal development...
so here's what i had said in the debate....


INTRODUCTION


i am the second speaker of the government side. i will explain about the benefits of coastal development in environmental aspect.


we always heard about the negative impact of coastal development, we're not open our eyes to its benefits. in environmental aspect, coastal development actually brings more positive impact than negative impact. not much of us realize about that. why?? it is because coastal development can prevent the unplanned coastal development to take place and causing more harm and serious problem to the coastal area. if we don't develop, someone will develop it anyway but in unplanned way which is definitely the unsustainable way. this situation will bring more negative impact to the environment and its natural resources which are flora and fauna.

FACTS ABOUT THE COASTAL DEVELOPMENT


if the unplanned coastal development occur or take place for example the unplanned human settlement, there will be the unplanned infrastructure, unplanned sewage disposal, unplanned drainage system and will give an eyesore scenery and coastal pollution as well. almost half a billion people live within 100km of coral reefs where they benefit from fisheries, storm surge protection and tourism income. with the worldwide coastal population expected to double by 2050, coral reefs will be facing increase pressure from unplanned of coastal development.

SOLUTION FOR COASTAL DEVELOPMENT


most of the people would say that the coastal development brings more negative impact to the environment and natural ecosystem. we should change the way we think about it right now. there are many solutions to solve the problem of bad coastal development and change it into sustainable coastal development which is much more environmental friendly and can make our future much brighter.


one of the solution that we can take on action that is Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM). in this solution, the policy makers can create sustainable coastal development projects which is can protect the coral reefs while meeting other economic needs.





the good example of coastal development which is considered as sustainable since it really did in a sustainable way which is in the construction stage and the usage stage




CONCLUSION


coastal development still brings harm to the environment and natural ecosystem but not as serious as serious as the problems and damage that will occur in the future if the area is developed in unplanned way.


so, we are here to study and analyse how the coastal development is being made and what are the negative impact might occur to the environment so that in the future we can make the coastal development more based on sustainable, in construction stage and also after in the usage stage and also in the future usage. it is not impossible to convert the negative impact to the positive. it is for the sake of the natural ecosystem and the environment that we live so that they will be undisturbed especially the sensitive species such as coral reefs and other aquatic life.








however, my group is lose to the opposition side which is muzammil's group. i felt so sad huhuhu.... =(
