The environment impact used dynamite and cyanide in Indonesia
The environment impact used dynamite and cyanide in Indonesia
Indonesia is a country with a lot of islands by surrounded the ocean. 81 % areas in Indonesia is the ocean. Because of that, almost half people in Indonesia work as a fisherman. In fact, the fishing activities that can have potentially negative impacts on the environment. Specially, in Indonesia, several fishermen use dynamite and cyanide fishing to get more fish. According FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Department, there are the environmental impact used dynamite and cyanide on the ecosystem: destroying the coral reefs, water barriers, and overpopulate the ocean creature.
Coral reefs are often dynamited to harvest small fish. Fisherman often use potassium cyanide and other poisons to stun and capture valuable reef fish. Divers squirt a cyanide solution from bottles directly onto fish resting on corals, killing the corals and stunning the fish. Coral has a lot of purpose. Several fish or other creature use coral for live, feeding, and foraging. Beside that, some marine species for example seahorses that live in coral are dried and used in traditional medicine. Of at least 20 millions dried seahorses traded globally (1995), the vast majority was for the use in traditional medicine. If the dynamite destroying the coral reefs, a lot of fish will be die and broken the ecosystem.
Dynamited reefs can no longer act as water barriers. Dynamite can adding that beach erosion has also impacted the beach. Not also dynamite, but cyanide is dangerous for human. Cyanide usually used in mine workings that located near or at the ocean. The miner often throws the cyanide in to the ocean. They don not know that cyanide is very dangerous for the water and the fish. If the miner throw 1 gram cyanides, more that 10.000 fish that live near the mine working will be die and the water surround the mine working will be polluted. The water pollution can destroy the fish and other ocean creature.
Dynamite and cyanide can overpopulate the ocean creatures. Corals, lobsters, clams and many other ocean creatures including some at the bottom of the food chain may be unable to withstand the increasing acidity of the oceans brought on by dynamite and cyanide fish. We know that the ocean creatures live in the coral. The explosives create an underwater shock wave that ruptures fish swim bladders so they float to the surface where fisherman can easily collect them. Not only fish are killed but also other inedible reef animals. Often a certain reef area is dynamited twice, first to kill the smaller fish, and then again to kill the larger predators attracted by the carnage.
In fact, dynamite and cyanide are dangerous especially to fishing. The government must create and judgments the law for the fisherman who used dynamite and cyanide. Beside that, we must keep the ocean with don’t destroy them. Tell others about life in the coral reefs and their importance to future generations and about conserving the marine resources.
