A Ban on Reclamation?The Indonesian Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Susi Pudjiastuti has announced plans to declare a nation-wide moratorium of beach reclamation that would freeze all dredging and reclamation practice for commercial purposes. The problem posed by reclamation, in the view of the Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, is that reclamation has a major effect on fisheries ecosystems and destroys the future livelihoods of fishermen. It is unclear what effect, if any, the proposed moratorium on reclamation would have on the controversial plan to relcaim Benoa Bay and turn it into a major hotel and entertainment complex.

Bali Toll Seeking to Increase Toll Tariffs by 14.5%In defending the request for higher toll fees, Akhmad Tito Karin, CEO of PT Jasa Marga Bali Tol said the roll road faced inflationary pressures in its operating costs and the outstanding debts of some Rp. 1.7 trillion. Moreover, said Tito, the anticipated use of the new toll road is operating at only 90% of the daily total of 49,000 vehicles calculated in the original planning of the roadway. As a result, said Tito, while operation costs are being covered by toll fees, revenues remain insufficient to service the entire debt burden of the roadway. The current tariff on the toll road is Rp. 4,000 for motorcycles and Rp. 10,000 for sedans. TTB Team |

A mating session takes just 15 seconds. While most squid lay their eggs in masses on the sea bed, some carry a clutch of eggs to guard them. TTB Team |

Asthma and scuba divingDiving with asthma is a controversial topic. In the past, any history of asthma was considered a definitive contraindication for diving. Recently, the accepted opinion has begun to change. Many diving doctors now accept that asthma is not an absolute contraindication for scuba diving. Potential divers with asthma should be evaluated individually to determine their fitness to dive. Doctors will consider the type and severity of asthma, a person's history of attacks, and what triggers asthma when deciding whether to clear an individual for diving. Potential divers with a history of asthma must see a diving doctor and undergo routine lung evaluation before taking to water. TTB Team |

Tulamben in a different lightA sunny tropical island, blue water and palm trees expresses the most common concept Bali is wildly seen in. But there's another side to it, nonetheless stunningly beautiful and breathtaking. Best observed of course in raining season, when thunderstorms going havoc on the far horizon, raging in their wild beauty like there's no tomorrow and almost making one believe to have seen daylight for the last time. Next morning then, with first light and again blue skies, the nightly onslaught is almost forgotten. Just deeply buried inside this prehistoric corner of our heart, we silently hope to have the wild gorgeousness back tonight. |

EU stops cruel shark mutilationMillions of sharks are mutilated only to earn money from their fins. Fisher men cut the fins from the sharks while they are still alive and throw the fish afterwards just back into the ocean where the shark dies painful. In the EU this so called “finning” is prohibited but there are lots of gaps in the current law which will be closed by the EU soon. TTT Team |
