The development of North Sulawesi’s Bitung Special Economic Zone (SEZ) threatens the marine biodiversity of Lembeh Strait. The area is renowned for its wealth of unique marine life, which makes it a haven for underwater photographers. Its charm is second to none in Indonesia.
It takes four times to get a response from Meyer Musa about how the development of the Bitung SEZ might impact his profession. Meyer has been a dive guide for the last seven years, guiding divers to a number of choice spots in North Sulawesian waters.
