Article Summary:

The recent reports of rampant fishing in the UNESCO World Heritage site and national marine park, Komodo National Park, shows the area to be under pressure from non-enforcement of the no take zones set up to help protect the fish.  Blast and line fishing, as well as diver damage and even sport fishing is now putting pressure on recovery of the area to its former glory.  Please spend 20 minutes of your time to help Komodo by writing comments in support of enforcing rules set by the Indonesian government in as many major online news sites as possible.  It’s the first real effort for Marine conservation in Indonesia and it sets the mood for the rest of the MPAs in the country. Please spend the time to help if you can!
