Loggerhead Island Report

1. What special considerations did you have to make for the nesting sea turtle sites located on the barrier island?
Our group made it cirtain that all of the activites taken place by humans that can either pollute or harm nature are attracted to the complete other side of the island to ensure the safety of these creatures.

2. What special considerations had to be made when determining a good site for the proposed fishing pier?
A fishing pier attracts a lot of people, because of this, questions were formed as where to put this? we decided to put this pier as far away from the endagered land as possible, while also trying to keep it as close to the road as possible. this way, extra land would not need to be developed for humans to walk on.

3. What could be some of the potential problems that might arise from the proposed golf course? Propose some of the ways in which the impacts can be reduced.
Golf balls hit too hard or in the wrong direction may introduce a fatal flaw toward the endangered species of this island. because of this, we put the golf coarse in a location where most of its perimeter was adjacent to the ocean. we also took into consideration the size. we wanted to ensure maximum space efficiency in order to use as little land as possible.

4. What are the economic benefits to the community of Loggerhead County if the development was done with the least amount of environmental impact?
If this were the case, then little efforts would need to be made later on inlife to preserve or restore what was once a natural habitat. these processes can often be pricy, so it is only right to do it correct int the first place.

5. Describe three ways in which humans negatively impact coastal ecosystems such as the one you are working on with Loggerhead Barrier Island.
a. pollution of the water
b. destruction of ocean banks
c. beastiality (haha)

6. How can maintaining natural vegetation help us to reduce the damage caused by oceanic events such as hurricanes, tsunami and continued beach erosion?
Vegetation plays a huge role in keeping the rigidity of the sand dunes, ocean banks, and even the drainage systems. without these plants and trees, everything would be sand!

7. After listening to the other groups make their presentations, were there any ideas they had you would have used if you had though about it before-hand? You should list at least three different ideas and indicate why their idea is actually better for the environment than yours.
Nobody's ideas are better than mine because i am perfect.
