Let us save raja ampat for Future Generations

The Indonesian authorities again arrested another illegal fishing boat in the remote south of the Raja Ampat Islands, just off the coast of West Papua. Local Papuan rangers spotted the 55-tonne illegal fishing vessel as it deployed a gill net in a Marine Protected Area (MPA). On board, police found more than two tonnes of drying shark fins and 80 critically endangered Hawksbill

This is really good reason to focus conservation efforts on Raja Ampat the region supports more marine species than anywhere else on the planet, including at least 553 types of coral and 1470 species of reef fish. There are single reefs here that contain more species than the entire Caribbean. Scientists also believe that Raja Ampat’s corals may be more resilient to bleaching episodes caused by rising sea temperatures.

Indonesian ’ve maintained their zero tolerance policy and it has worked - destructive fishing has given way to hight end dive tourism.
