This film documents the destruction of coral reefs in Indonesia by locals using homemade bombs. I shot the interviews, the bombing footage was shot by Dr Lida Pet-Soede, Fish Culture and Fisheries Group, Wageningen Institute of Animal Sciences (WIAS)

@gman586 LOL, not really... i pity mother earth... you can't change what someone else's think just by any ways... saving the earth doesn't mean talking to people about this's and that's... you can save the earth in simple ways... you can't save it alone tho... it'll be everyone's loss if the earth die... btw, it's not about the fishermen... it's about everyone...

Bomb the fish people got to eat

It is not good. We should protect the nature.

Destroying the nature = killing yourself.

save mother earth

Actually seismic usually uses Air guns which create a sound pulse not a large impulse. in fish bombing the swim bladders explode from inside out due to the negative pressure pulse of the high explosive. Low explosive doesn't kill (seismic used to use low).

Whats the problem more in canada is overfishing. Read "Woodward's" "Ocean's End", chapter "run on the banks" about grand banks overfishing, its shocking.

We are bombing our coral in Canada too with non-stop trawling and seismic blasting. Our coral and nudis look simular but are wiped out but yet Canadians blames seals for fish collapse if you can imagine?
