Labuan Bajo (ANTARA) - The Air and Water Police Unit (Satpolairud) of West Manggarai called on coastal residents of Labuan Bajo, East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), to not use illegal explosives, fish bombs, and fishing gear while at sea.

"Fishing with explosives and other illicit gear can destroy the marine habitat, especially in Labuan Bajo City, a high premium tourism destination that preserves its underwater beauty. Hopefully, people won't do anything deviant," West Manggarai Regional Police Satpolairud Head Police Commissioner Adjutant (AKP) I Wayan Merta remarked.

Merta made the statement while holding a community policing for coastal fishermen at the Fish Auction Pier (TPI) of Kampung Ujung, West Manggarai District, East Nusa Tenggara.
