HUMAN & ANIMA L

ACTIVITY

Turtle Landing - Happens all year round. - Higher frequency of landings on south side of jetty, due to unique sand and trees. - Lower frequency of landings on north side due to high human activity.

Fishing A common activity by the campers and trackers. A higher frequency of fishing towards the East side of the lake as it is less swampy and easier to excess for fishing.

Tracking Trail Basic means of getting from one place to another. Some trails are less traveled as the duration and difficulty level of the trail.

Camping Site A fixed area is cleared for campers to reside. Max 100 people are allowed to camp in the area. Highest intensity of noise and light. Far from beach to avoid interrupting turtle landing. Situated on high and firm grounds.

Beach Activity Pantai Kerachut has a very wide beach which allows a wide range of activities to be held. Water sports are banned to avoid hurting marine life High frequency of human activity and noise on the north side of the beach as the south side is out of bounds due to turtle activity.

Boat Activity

Boat activities are minimalized to reduce sound and water pollution as it will effect the frequency of turtles landing. Boats are not allowed to access south section of the beach, does not interrupt turtle landing.

Noise Pollution Occurs at places with high human frequency and at places with activities.
