Bunaken Rubbish Free
Friday, July 17, 2009
Currents and waves led to the waste land and marine national park waters. Without question, ecosystem values, ethics to aesthetics.
Midnight Christmas celebrations in 2008, the sea water at the beach Liang, Bunaken Island, low tide Till far into the middle. Some people mark the commemoration west monsoon and the arrival of that special day with a bonfire. The material is taken from the trash scattered along the coastline. Gathered into several bundles, then lit a match flame.
Nevertheless, the level of a 'hill of garbage' that was not the worst result. A day later, the rain poured up to two days in a row, just after the water subsided for a moment and re-flushed. Rising sea level, gray-white foaming waves, one after another while sending waste to storm the beach. Starting up pieces of plastic timber.
The storm itself is terrible, especially when the boat the divers could not anchoring the beach Liang, also at the pier entrance Bunaken National Plant (TNLB). They must turn the direction and anchored on opposite Alung Banua Manado Tua.
The third day, rain and sea water merintik to normal. Our feet planted on the sand beach can be re-Liang - previously only ventured keperkampungan center of the island due to the rising tide of days. Landscape waste piles crammed on the coast, beyond the condition of Christmas Eve 2008.
Some members of the community began to clean up the garbage "Look, They put the Rubbish in wheel-barrow and then dump it in the woods behind the beach!" Said the foreign traveler. "Of course, it's so simple," said Aurelle ALOS, wayfaring our colleagues, in a thick French accent.
In fact, the case entered in garbage carts on wheels and arise to the grove behind the beach end. "We at Bunaken and neighboring islands are encouraged to burn trash and should not be thrown to the beach," explained Esther Kasehung, manager of the Panorama Bunaken Indah Resort And Diving Center. "If negligent, we imposed a fine of village government."
Trash has become a lump and the concerns of the pedestrians as well as residents of Bunaken. Not bad in the eyes of view, disturbing Snorkeling and diving activities, while making grim TNLB charm in the eyes of the world.
Disquiet about the endless garbage is delivered over various parties, including the secretary general of the ministry, which now serves as General Director of Marketing, excerpts DR. Sapta Nirwandar in the Ministry of Culture and Tourism site, two years ago rang. "Many areas of maritime tourism area which used to attract tourists, because the coral reefs and biotanya are still awake, now threatened kelestarianya due to garbage and industrial waste. Regions of nautical tourism in Bunaken, Manado, for example, are now faced with the problem of waste apprehensive enough. "
Lasting glow Development Area "boulevard, road Piere Tendean, Manado, including reclamation of the beach - an area of eight hectares to reach by the Kompas daily - to be one source of problems. "Rubbish in Bunaken Manado comes from, not probably came from here or neighboring islands," added Esther.
Statement bermukiman women 27 years in Bunaken village was founded. As mentioned earlier, population and surrounding Bunaken fined if carelessly discard. Plus, "a local government providing facilities and guidance in the form of trash to burn garbage."
From visual observation when wayfaring at Bunaken island. Visible concern for the local community will shelter them. For instance, in the Village Alung Banua, cemented roads, houses neatly complemented waste places of the wood.
But it was not restrained elegance, as they neared the coast, such as Liang and Pangalisang. Various plastic instant food, washing powder, pieces of wood waste and branches visible on the surface mengapuk national park which covers 89 065 hectares.
Marine conservation areas database Indonesian waters of Bunaken describe oceanographic conditions so, "sea currents flowing in a northeasterly direction throughout the year, parallel to the northern coast of Sulawesi. Local current-driven tidal and wind is very complex to be mapped. At certain times and places there are strong currents and spin currents. "
Strong currents and the physical changes along the coast of Manado, also contributed to the local flow pattern which paved the delivery of waste to TNLB. United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) also mentioned that the waste can be blown out to sea a short distance so far by the wind, floating on the surface, drifting in the water column due to the deep water currents until finally sunk on the seabed.
Review TNLB existence which was inaugurated in 1991, this area is one of the most strategic sea area in the world, according to the location that is done pull out and Meririll Erdmann, Bunaken's coral triangle adjacent to Papua New Guinea, Indonesia and the Philippines which is a sea area with the richest biological diversity in the western Pacific. TNLB also a proponent of the lives of more than 30 thousand inhabitants as well as contributors of about 4.4 million U.S. dollars annually in tourism country.
So it would be ironic if the fate berkhir as a giant dustbin.
