bomb fishing - vgrigorescu
"I was diving last year in Indonesia (precisely in Manado, northen part of the country). It was first time when I was being able to actually see with my own eyes how a bombed reef looks like. I never ever had that feeling of death, irreparable desaster. You can not imagine the feeling of despair the sight generated into my mind and soul. It looked like a tomb. That's far worse than spearing and the funny thing is that verry little is done to prevent it. All that was happening in a natural reservation. I believe it is difficult to explain to the people that they shouldn't bombe the reef in order to catch some rare fishes that worth their income for one year. What do you think about it?"
I think, this one should be discussed in a new thread. Anybody knows a good website that covers this issue? Particularly: success stories on changing the way of life of fishermen who do bombing and cyanide/poisoning the corals.
