Pantai Morib
It is a holiday beach destination that is located in Banting, Selangor, also known as Malaysia's "Gold Coast". The seafront has been transformed into an esplanade which is a long, open and level area next to a large body of water where people walk by. The beach offers various and diverse facilities such as a nice and spacious hotel by the beach, a recreational parks that stretch far and well equipped with excellent facilities including playground for children of all ages, gazebos and walkways. There's also a nearby food court that serves unique and delicious Malaysian Cuisine. Apart from being a holiday destination, Pantai Morib also has a iconic history profile. It was the area where the British Marines had landed to defend the coast from Japanese Invasion during World War 2.
In term 2, the year 10s from AISM went on a field trip to Pantai Morib for Geography up coming project about Coastal management. As a visitor, i was shocked to find litter everywhere. I think this is one of the reasons that have caused the number of tourist to decline. From my observations, visitors usually leave their rubbish behind when they are leaving. Some even burn their rubbish.This has shown that visitors are not aware of what will happen to the beach if this continues.
In this field trip, students will be put into 8 groups, 6 people in each group. We had to record all the data we have gathered using the inclinometer and also the amount of litters we have collected for further research later. Besides, we also need to observe the environment around us and was advised to take some notes because examples are needed while doing our assignment.
Before we left for lunch, we also visited the two sea defences that protect the recreational areas from getting erosion. I would say that the two sea defences are in terrible condition and authorities who manage Pantai Morib should take some action as these factors would definitely affect the rate of visitors to come to the beach.
Personally, i have enjoyed this field trip because i think i have gain knowledge from it and we also did some clean up while we were collecting data.
