Text of the page (random words):
of salawati 27 marine biodiversity of raja ampat the oceanic natural resources around raja ampat give the area significant potential as a tourist area drawing divers researchers and others with an interest in the marine life there 28 according to konservasi indonesia marine surveys suggest that the marine life diversity in the raja ampat area is the highest recorded on earth 28 diversity is considerably greater than in any other area sampled in the coral triangle composed of indonesia malaysia philippines papua new guinea the solomon islands and east timor the coral triangle is the heart of the world s coral reef biodiversity making raja ampat quite possibly the richest coral reef ecosystem in the world 28 the area s massive coral colonies along with relatively high sea surface temperatures also suggest that its reefs may be relatively resistant to threats like coral bleaching and coral disease which now jeopardize the survival of other coral ecosystems around the world the raja ampat islands are remote and relatively undisturbed by humans 28 the crown of thorns starfish eats raja ampat s corals and the destruction this causes among reefs has posed a threat to tourism the crown of thorns starfish which can grow around as big as a trash can lid and is covered in sharp stinging spines has proliferated due to increasing nitrogen in the water from human waste which in turn causes a spike in phytoplankton on which the starfish feed 29 in 2019 local divers began the task of reducing starfish populations by injecting the starfish with a 10 vinegar solution the dead starfish can then be eaten by local fish 29 the high marine diversity in raja ampat is strongly influenced by its position between the indian and pacific oceans as coral and fish larvae are more easily shared between the two oceans raja ampat s coral diversity resilience and role as a source for larval dispersal make it a global priority for marine protection its location results in it being a biogeographic crossroads between indonesia micronesia and the arafura sea 30 1 508 fish species 537 coral species a remarkable 96 of all scleractinians recorded from indonesia are likely to occur in these islands and 75 of all species that exist in the world 31 and 699 mollusk species the variety of marine life is staggering 32 raja ampat is identified as the epicenter of restricted range reef fishes in the coral triangle with over 100 species of endemic reef fishes and also an extremely high diversity of reef coral species over 600 475 species 30 the raja ampat islands have at least three ponds containing harmless jellyfish all in the misool area 33 the submarine world around the islands was the subject of the documentary film edies paradies 3 by otto c honegger which has been broadcast by the swiss television network schweizer fernsehen 34 in march 2017 the 90 metre long 295 ft cruise ship caledonian sky owned by british tour operator noble caledonia got caught in a low tide and ran aground on the reef an evaluation team estimated that 1 600 square metres 17 000 sq ft of the reef was destroyed which will likely result in a compensation claim of 1 28 million 1 92 million a team of environmentalists and academics estimated much more substantial damage with potential losses to indonesia estimated at 18 6 million and a recovery time for the reef spanning decades 35 36 37 a zebra shark breeding and release initiative started in 2022 aiming to release 500 sharks by 2032 the wild population was formerly abundant but a fishing industry that ballooned starting in the 1990s reduced the population to perhaps just 20 individuals 38 population edit ma ya woman with her child 1960s the main occupation for people around this area is fishing since the area is dominated by the sea they live in a small colony of tribes spread throughout the area although traditional culture is still strong they are very welcoming to visitors raja ampat people have similarities with the surrounding moluccan people and papuan people as they speak papuan and austronesian languages the muslim proportion is much higher compared with other papuan areas however the west papua province as a whole has a larger muslim population because of its extensive history with the sultanate of tidore 39 religion in raja ampat 2010 protestantism 67 3 roman catholicism 0 76
