Fishermen protest pollution in sea

JAKARTA: Fishermen in Cilincing, North Jakarta, demanded the
city administration close factories located on the northern
coast, which they said were polluting the sea with unprocessed
waste.

In a protest at City Hall on Wednesday, the fishermen said the
factories should be prosecuted.

Thousands of fish, clams, shrimp and oysters have been found
dead in past weeks on beaches on Ancol, Kamal and the Thousand
Islands.

The authorities have yet to complete an investigation into the
cause of the poisoning. -- JP
