Coral reefs in S.E. Sulawesi damaged<\/p>\n
KENDARI, Southeast Sulawesi: Only half of the coral reefs in
\nSoutheast Sulawesi waters are in a good condition while the rest
\nhave been damaged due to improper fishing methods, a senior
\nresearcher warned on Monday.<\/p>\n
Dr. La Ode M. Aslan of Haluolo University said in Kendari
\nunless the authorities acted immediately to put an end to the use
\nof dynamite and chemicals for fishing, the coral environment in
\nthe region's waters would be totally destroyed.<\/p>\n
He appealed to the provincial administration to intensify
\ncontrol by increasing the number of security officers and by
\nusing speed boats to pursue fishermen using such illegal methods.<\/p>\n
\"Fishermen also need to be made aware of the eventual
\nextinction of fish if coral reefs are destroyed, while offering
\nthem other alternatives by providing them with more appropriate
\nfishing equipment and introducing fish culture technology,\" the
\nexpert concluded. --Antara<\/p>",
