2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Tracking Trail

as the duration and difficulty
level of the trail.

to camp in the area.
• Highest intensity of noise
and light.

• Situated on high and firm
grounds.
6. Beach Activity

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.
7. 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.
