Description
Summary:A large fashionable tourist resort area is under construction at Benoa Bay, Bali. The location is an island called Turtle Island, which is an enlargement of the existing Serangan Island. Extensive dredging operations of surrounding sea bed are needed for land reclamation, resulting in a general change in current pattern and water exchange for the Benoa Bay and the strait between the coast and Turtle Island. Prediction of the water quality before and after construction was accomplished in order to find the preferable of three layouts from an environmental point of view. The existing Serangan Island is relatively small, with no tourism and inhabited by a small number of local people. The shallow waters around the island are covered by benthic vegetation.
