nets are getting caught by the reef, many fisherman actually are too careless, and not really experienced. so we end up with a mess, and we try to clean it up. apart from the nets, there is also bubu, or fishing traps that are left unattended, resulting in many fish being caught but never harvested. tar and oil has been an issue and at times horrible to clean up. it took many dedicated staff to clean it up. we have a bounty or 5 millions Rupiah on any fisherman that can witness and report a name of one of the tankers dumping oil overboard. this is usually done in rough weather or at night. on a brighter note, many fish are spawning right now, and since the kelong are still iddle on Bintan, it is a good oportunity to see a reef recovering. |
