Field trip sendang biru, muncar and perancak (Bali) by Lida Pet-Soede
- 2. Sendang Biru Tuna landing site
~ 400 boats changed from shark fishing in the 80s
to catch yellow fin tuna with hand line around
FADs
- 4. We discuss trends in tuna catches with buyer and
WWF coordinator of data recording project
- 5. Also the women of Sendang Biru make their
living off the tuna fishery
- 9. Fasting month has started in Muncar, a big
landing site for shark fin and shark products
- 10. The waves are too high, fishers are worried they
lose their livelihood with reducing catches and
competition from big vessels in the high seas
- 11. Shark catches decreased tremendously in the past
15 years, the few boats still catching can barely
meet the increasing costs
- 12. Shark skin and bones are used in cosmetics,
when I tried this it had no taste and felt like
eating plastic
- 15. The next day I dive with fishers catching aquarium fish
who changed from using cyanide to nets and received
awards for their stewardship
- 17. The quality of the fish is much better and the
reef stays in healthy condition
- 18. After the dive I visit Perancak on Bali where the
community of Kuma Asih has protected turtle nests
since 17 years
- 19. Its great to see the result of this community-based
effort, now more than 400 nests hatch in the season
- 21. These are the babies that carry my hope that in 30
years when they return to Perancak beach, the ocean
and coasts are still healthy
