This barren area is the result of blast fishing, a cheap and easy, but very destructive technique. This wasteful method indescriminatingly kills huge numbers of fish and other marine life. Worse yet, delicate coral reef habitat is destroyed, causing long-term damage. It is Illegal in most countries, but enforcement is difficult. Nusa Laut, Banda Sea, Indonesia
