Boats to burn : Bajo fishing activity in the Australian fishing zone, c2007, via WWW, Nov. 11, 2010: chapter 2 (The Tukang Besi Islands are located in the northeastern part of the Flores Sea, southeast of the island of Buton. There are five main inhabited islands--Wanci, Kambode, Kaledupa, Tomia and Binongko--and a number of smaller, mostly uninhabited, islands. The islands previously formed part of the realm of the Sultanate of Buton, but since 1964 they have been part of the province of Southeast Sulawesi (Sulawesi Tenggara). In July 1996 the Tukang Besi Archipelago was declared a Marine National Park by the Directorate General of Forest Protection and Nature. The Wakatobi Marine National Park includes all the reefs and islands in the archipelago and covers 1.39 million hectares (13 900 km²), which make it the second largest designated marine protected area in Indonesia.) |
