Nusa Dua is a resort area built in the 1970s in the southern part of Bali , Indonesia . Known as an enclave of large five-star resorts, it covers 350 hectares of land and encloses more than 20 resorts. It is located 22 kilometers from Denpasar , the provincial capital of Bali, and is administered as part of Benoa subdistrict ( kelurahan ) in South Kuta , Badung Regency . Nusa Dua means two islands ( nusa 'island', dua 'two'), because there are two islands in the bay of the Indonesia Tourism Development Corporation (ITDC) area. On the southern side lies Peninsula Island, and on the northern side lies Nusa Dharma Island, which is smaller but shadier, and which contains the Pura/Temple Nusa Dharma.
63-531: The core area of ITDC Nusa Dua is a gated community. There are security checkpoints, and visitors are charged a fee to enter. Geger Beach is located in Sawangan, about 3 kilometers from the southern area of Nusa Dua. The sea there is calm, which allows farmers to grow seaweed in the area, as well as being an attractive place for tourists to swim. Water Blow is located in the ITDC district where large waves of sea water from

Nusa Dua is one of Bali's five sites benefiting from the largest coral restoration projects in the world (as of 2021): the Indonesian Coral Reef Garden (ICRG) intends to install altogether just under one million structural units. The project is funded by the Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Ministry, to the tune of $ 7.5 million. The final section of the project took place in

Due to non-competition clauses, the only way he could obtain a second Ritz-Carlton flag in Boston was to own the existing Ritz-Carlton. Millennium Partners acquired the original Ritz-Carlton Boston for $ 122 million (though it had sold for just $ 75 million less than two years prior) and spent $ 50 million for renovations.

He assembled a four-person development team in Atlanta, headed by hotelier Horst Schulze, to create
441-513: A formal definition, but seaweed generally lives in the ocean and is visible to the naked eye. The term refers to both flowering plants submerged in the ocean, like eelgrass , as well as larger marine algae. Generally, it is one of several groups of multicellular algae ; red , green and brown . They lack one common multicellular ancestor, forming a polyphyletic group. In addition, blue-green algae ( Cyanobacteria ) are occasionally considered in seaweed literature. The number of seaweed species
504-427: A hugely successful opening, the stock market crash of 1929 and ensuing Depression brought financial difficulties. The Wyner family funded the hotel's operating losses during the early 1930s, although the interest on the bonds went unpaid. Still in 1933, when only 30 guests were registered in the hotel, Wyner turned on the lights in every guest room to give the appearance that the hotel was full. The Philadelphia location

819-456: A vital role in capturing carbon and producing at least 50% of Earth's oxygen. Natural seaweed ecosystems are sometimes under threat from human activity. For example, mechanical dredging of kelp destroys the resource and dependent fisheries. Other forces also threaten some seaweed ecosystems; for example, a wasting disease in predators of purple urchins has led to an urchin population surge which has destroyed large kelp forest regions off
882-733: Is also used as a flavoring ingredient for soups, salads and omelettes . Chondrus crispus ('Irish moss' or carrageenan moss) is used in food additives, along with Kappaphycus and G igartinoid seaweed. Porphyra is used in Wales to make laverbread (sometimes with oat flour). In northern Belize , seaweed is mixed with milk , nutmeg , cinnamon and vanilla to make " dulce " ("sweet"). Alginate , agar and carrageenan are gelatinous seaweed products collectively known as hydrocolloids or phycocolloids . Hydrocolloids are food additives. The food industry exploits their gelling, water-retention, emulsifying and other physical properties. Agar
945-401: Is an attachment point, and therefore seaweed most commonly inhabits the littoral zone (nearshore waters) and within that zone, on rocky shores more than on sand or shingle. In addition, there are few genera (e.g., Sargassum and Gracilaria ) which do not live attached to the sea floor, but float freely. Seaweed occupies various ecological niches. At the surface, they are only wetted by
1008-490: Is an ingredient in toothpaste, cosmetics and paints. Seaweed is used for the production of bio yarn (a textile). Several of these resources can be obtained from seaweed through biorefining . Seaweed collecting is the process of collecting, drying and pressing seaweed.

He and the renowned chef from his hotels, Auguste Escoffier , opened à la carte restaurants known as "Ritz-Carlton" on board
1197-752: Is farmed for agar ; the rest are eaten after limited processing. Seaweeds are different from mangroves and seagrasses , as they are photosynthetic algal organisms and are non-flowering. The largest seaweed-producing countries as of 2022 are China (58.62%) and Indonesia (28.6%); followed by South Korea (5.09%) and the Philippines (4.19%). Other notable producers include North Korea (1.6%), Japan (1.15%), Malaysia (0.53%), Zanzibar ( Tanzania , 0.5%), and Chile (0.3%). Seaweed farming has frequently been developed to improve economic conditions and to reduce fishing pressure. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) reported that world production in 2019

Adding seaweed to livestock feed can substantially reduce methane emissions from cattle, but only from their feedlot emissions. As of 2021, feedlot emissions account for 11% of overall emissions from cattle. Alginates are used in wound dressings (see alginate dressing ), and dental moulds. In microbiology , agar

It might be successful in one spot but two metres away, the hydro-dynamic factors or supply of larvae will be slightly different and it won’t work there. And as most of the restoration projects in Indonesia are being done without preliminary studies, artificial reefs are not planted in places where they are needed most.” In 1983,

Two environmental requirements dominate seaweed ecology . These are seawater (or at least brackish water ) and light sufficient to support photosynthesis . Another common requirement

The seven most cultivated taxa are Eucheuma spp., Kappaphycus alvarezii , Gracilaria spp., Saccharina japonica , Undaria pinnatifida , Pyropia spp., and Sargassum fusiforme . Eucheuma and K. alvarezii are attractive for carrageenan (a gelling agent ); Gracilaria

As macroalgae takes up carbon dioxide and releases oxygen in the photosynthesis , macroalgae fronds can also contribute to carbon sequestration in
