These Acropora corals can take decades to grow and at least 8 Bangka Belitung island hopping boats with local tourists on snorkeling trips were anchored like this on one small reef … ropes ripping the coral in half.

Bangka Belitung is a spectacular island that is advancing towards irreparable ruin. 70% of its forests, 60% of its mangroves, and 5000 hectares of coral reefs are gone. A potential sustainable eco-tourism gold mine creating 1,000,000 jobs that will never be realised.
