Dear Members of the KL Bar,
Technical Visit to Coastal Protection Sites, Port Dickson on 18.10.2008. Jointly organised by the KL Bar Environmental Law Committee and Institution of Engineers Malaysia
In 2005, the Government had successfully completed a handful of beach protection projects in Port Dickson. These efforts were commendable and were prompted by the need to bring back some of the lustre that the beaches from Batu 1 to Batu 5 once had.
The visit will take participants on a tour of selected areas of the Port Dickson shoreline to spend some time by the sea while being briefed on coastal development issues and shore protection techniques by Engr Nor Hisham Mohd Ghazali, Head of Erosion Control, Jabatan Pengairan dan Saliran Malaysia.
You will be joined by engineers and the experience will provide some insight into coastal engineering and shore protection techniques. Works include beach nourishment and re-nourishment, the installation of a beach drainage system known as Beach Management System, designed to make the beach less susceptible to erosion.
Venturing on off beaten tracks of Port Dickson, you will learn how sands from beneath the ocean are pumped onto the shores using a combination of gravity and submersible pumps. It will be an unforgettable experience and you will never look at Port Dickson the same way again after the visit.
The visit is strictly limited to 15 participants only, from members of KL Bar and non-members and you will be joined by 15 members from IEM. Click here for more information of the visit.
Yours faithfully
Sanjeev Kumar Rasiah
Chair
