The video of a tourist named Rich Horner who is diving with the condition of the sea full of plastic in Bali viral in social media. Responding to that, Bali Governor Made Mangku Pastika assessed what the tourists allegedly overestimated.
"I've seen the video, but it seems excessive, not so very, but it does not mean we blame him, but this is a form of introspection for us Let's continue to clean up the garbage, including on the beach," Pastika said at the Bali Governor's Office , Wednesday (7/3) afternoon.
According to Pastika, plastic waste is abundant in the sea of Bali comes from the waste of shipment and from the ships that often throw garbage in the middle of the sea.
"For the problem of plastic waste, because of undisciplined behavior, there is also waste of shipment and also suspected from the crossing ships that throw garbage in the sea," he added.
Pastika added, the Bali Provincial Government is studying the solution to reduce the problem of plastic waste. He also hopes in the future, the Bali sea is no longer a target province that is identical with plastic waste.
