Every human being has an effect on the environment irrespective of where he/she lives. For sure there are unscrupulous companies/people that have little regard for the environment and plan just to exploit it 100% with no regard to the consequences of their actions.<BR/>The situation in and around Bunaken Island and National Marine Park is way different from what has happened in Pulau Seribu and other areas in Indonesia.<BR/>If we wish to really discuss environmental issues may be better to focus on "Garbage" that is dumped daily into the sea from the mainland and from ferries.<BR/>This is a situation where people that do not live on Bunaken, give no benefit to Bunaken, do however have a negative impact on it.Cha Cha Fishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15677188431444678504noreply@blogger.com
