Gili Air - Protection of beaches

Protection of beaches

Today one of the main reasons to protect the beaches is erosion, which occurs through weather, tide, and other environmental factors.

Sea level is rising every year. Especially during rainy season, water level is very high. Large waves and heavy rains erode a large amount of land, vanishing into the sea and therefore gone forever. Some areas already disappeared up to island circling street in Gili Air completely.

Protection of beaches

Possible solution for Gili Air

On the beach

L.K.G.A. suggests a project that most affected areas are protected with special precautions. Digging in concrete walls and also above the ground at the sea, land can be protected against the sea.

L.K.G.A. will set up a multi step financing system for this protective system. Any owner of beach land pays yearly in advance a specific fee (according to length of protective system).
If owners of beach land sell their land, which is NOT protected by this system, they have to pay a percentage of total selling price, they receive, to L.K.G.A. for setting up this protective system.

This fee improves value for buyer as land is secured for a long time. Additional value of land is much higher than fee for L.K.G.A.

This fortifying a horizontal beach can be created. This is an advantage that without tide changing water level you can walk through, or sunbath directly at the sea. Additionally directly at the sea level "Brugas", small traditional covered relaxing spaces can be built.

Danger through boats

Because Gili Air is surrounded by reefs, every time an anchor is let down or thrown over the ship's wall, weight, power and movements of anchor destroys corals - with exception to the harbour area.

buoys

Possible solution for Gili Air

L.K.G.A. will install buoys for ships to anchor at specific places. Directly near beach only at buoys ships are allowed to moor with. Outside of places shown by L.K.G.A. it is not allowed for ships to anchor (at reefs). This also applies for boats and ships from other islands, like Lombok.

Pollution through waste in water

Many times waste from tourists and inhabitants are thrown thoughtlessly into the water. Every day some parts of this waste are floating along local beaches or they flow in water, currents are taking waste with them and bring waste to far away beaches.

Possible solution for Gili Air

Tourist guides, boating captains, hostel operators, etc. should be made responsible for their guests actions against the environment. The same is applicable for local inhabitants whereas punishment of these offences local Kepala Desa (mayor) is responsible. Here also severe fines should be result of breach of regulation.

Pollution through ship´s oil

Now as boating between Lombok and Bali on one side and Gili islands on the other side has increased heavily, often outside engines are cleaned with sea water by captains or owners and additionally larger amounts of oil is released into water.
This oil covers beaches, kills corals and fishes as well as birds.

Possible solution for Gili Air

L.K.G.A. will do everything it can to make sure that a law is introduced forbidding these actions. When this law is broken, a huge fine has to be paid respectively boating license will be cancelled.

Problem of high speed boats

High speed boats are fast, noisy and dangerous! Main danger is, that these boats cause accidents with swimmers or snorkelling tourists many times. Noise caused by these fast boats is enough to disturb general silence at all three islands together. Not only silence-seeking-tourists and relaxation-seeking-people, but as well as noise of these engines alone with its killing effects at reefs is obvious.

Noise drives away many small and large fishes. Without number and variety of fish in this region, tourists start staying away and basis of local fisher’s livelihood is destroyed.

High speed boats can damage local coral reefs. It is scientifically proven that unnatural vibrations near reefs actually kill corals. We do never forget that the main reasons for tourists coming to Gili Air are dependant on water e.g.:

- snorkelling

- diving

- swimming

- relaxation at beaches

- enjoying the sun and silence

At many places in Europe private use of high speed boats in relaxation areas is strictly forbidden. Exemptions are only sovereign takes, e.g. police or rescuing missions. Additionally there are there are local laws in place for waterskiing and parasailing.

Possible solution for Gili Air

L.K.G.A. will work with together with governor of NTB (Nusa Tengara Barat) to introduce a regulation in usage of such high speed boats (according to size of boat, e.g. by number of horse power) in this region.
In this regulation a maximum number of boats in this region should be one boat per island (Gili Air, Gili Meno, Gili Trawangan). Usage of this speed boats should be watched over by police and mayor of every island.
This license should have clause for priority usage by police and for rescuing missions.

Problems of helicopters

Lately it has occurred more often that heli-tourists from Bali do a stopover on one of these three islands.

Despite of noise und dust disturbing the peace, helicopter flights should be limited to emergencies only and not as standard tourist transportation vehicle.

Because of size of Gili Air and surrounding islands, motorbikes are absolutely unnecessary. They should stay forbidden now and forever.
