Wallacea Dive Cruises - MSY Seahorse (11 Nights Banda Sea - Ring of fire) - Tour Code: SH190930 Tel : +47 22413030 | Epost :[email protected]| Web :www.reisebazaar.no Karl Johans gt. 23, 0159 Oslo, Norway Wallacea Dive Cruises - MSY Seahorse (11 nights Banda Sea - Ring of fire) - Tour code: SH190930 Turkode Destinasjoner Turen starter 38890 Indonesia Alor Turen destinasjon Reisen er levert av 13 dager Saumlaki Fra : NOK 0 Oversikt Triton Bay and the Banda Sea is known for its impressive soft corals and reefs. This is one of the most remote areas of the Indonesian Archipelago and among the many species of marine life you might encounter here is whale sharks, pilot whales, huge schools of fish and excellent macro opportunities. Reiserute Day 1: Fly to Alorand check in (check dive eventually depending on guests arrival time) Day 2-11: Diving the Banda Sea Day 12: Tour ends in Saumlaki- Check out This cruise makes a journey of about 500 nautical miles and crossing a large part of eastern Indonesia through the Banda Sea, from Ambon in the hearth of Mollucas to Tanimbar, the easternmost island of Indonesia. During your visit to this area you will see big numbers of pelagic fish, most notably impressive numbers of Napoleon wrasse, dog-toothed tuna and squadrons of mobula rays at sites throughout the Banda Islands area. The waters of Banda and Ambon promise riches beyond the wildest dreams of many 'big name' dive destinations worldwide. There are the small and beautiful macro creatures that are more often seen around Ambon, such as the scorpionfish which carries its name. The Spice islands are full of historical significance and you can visit old Dutch forts and learn all about the history of this once great trading route. If you luck is in then you can find yourself diving with schooling hammerheads - a sight not easily forgotten! Nowadays the region is attracting overseas visitors for very different reasons. The Banda Sea is located in the central region of Indonesia and was once known for its lucrative spice trade where foreigners came from all over the world to trade in that most valuable of commodities, nutmeg. Limited human impact has left the reefs in great health, and the rich waters that they lie in are home to an unbelievable array of life. And the schools of fish in the Banda Sea need to be seen to be believed. The so called ring of fire is part of the cruise, with still active volcanoes like Manuk islands, whose reefs are home for thousands of sea snakes. Schooling hammerheads are one of the highlight of this cruise and can generally be seen on a few dive sites of the itinerary. Why choose the Banda Sea as your next dive destination? One of Indonesia’s best kept secrets is the Banda Sea, which is part of the (Pacific) Ring of Fire – a massive horseshoe-shaped, seismically active area that stretches all the way from South America to New Zealand and measures about 40,000 kilometres. The South East Asian section of the Ring of Fire includes a chain of volcanic islands from the north of Pulau Seram to the tip of Pulau Wetar in the Banda Sea. Known for its incredible biodiversity, healthy reefs, and, of course, unpredictable conditions, this remote part of the Ring of Fire is only reachable via liveaboard and – needless to say – offers spectacular diving. Need more convincing to get you all the way out there? Here are six reasons for you to chew on. Triton Bay There are also areas in the Triton Bay region which promise all manner of critter appearances including frogfish, ornate ghost pipefish, wonderpus, pygmy seahorses and nudibranchs galore. Epaulette sharks can be seen walking over the reefs as giant groupers lurk in sheltered spots, while schools of jacks and fusiliers dart around en masse. Triton Bay boasts a resident pod of pilot whales, the sight of which will linger long in the memories of those who dive with them. Not many liveaboard diving charters visit this region and the pioneering spirit and sense of privilege you feel while visiting Triton Bay is palpable. These enormous fish approach the 'bagans' of fishermen at the surface, sometimes many at a time. Triton Bay's black coral forests are awesome in scale and never fail to impress. The bay also features excellent whale shark action. Squadrons of bumphead parrotfish charge around chomping the coral into fine sand, watched by ever-present turtles. What other parts of Papua Province have over Raja Ampat could be the almost guaranteed presence of some of the larger creatures scuba divers are ever likely to encounter. Above the water is also fascinating with lush green landscapes, local people whose lives are a million miles from your own, and ancient cave paintings which root the people to their ancestral land. Photographers are advised not to leave their macros lenses at home!Triton Bay is known for displaying a similarly impressive level of soft coral coverage as places like Misool Island. To see so many of these majestic sharks gulping for scraps at the surface is a sight to behold! Viktig Informasjon Package includes: Accommodation in a shared twin or double cabin. All meals.

Peterson A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2015 Reading Committee: Peter V. Lape, Chair James K. Feathers Benjamin Marwick Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Anthropology ©Copyright 2015 Emily J. Peterson University of Washington Abstract Insularity and Adaptation Investigating the role of exchange and inter-island interaction in the Banda Islands, Indonesia Emily J. Peterson Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Peter V. Lape Department of Anthropology Trade and exchange exerted a powerful force in the historic and protohistoric past of Island Southeast Asian communities. Exchange and interaction are also hypothesized to have played an important role in the spread of new technologies and lifestyles throughout the region during the Neolithic period. Although it is clear that interaction has played an important role in shaping Island Southeast Asian cultures on a regional scale, little is known about local histories and trajectories of exchange in much of the region. This dissertation aims to improve our understanding of the adaptive role played by exchange and interaction through an exploration of change over time in the connectedness of island communities in the Banda Islands, eastern Indonesia. Connectedness is examined by measuring source diversity for two different types of archaeological materials. Chemical characterization of pottery using LA-ICP-MS allows the identification of geochemically different paste groups within the earthenware assemblages of two Banda Islands sites. Source diversity measures are employed to identify differences in relative connectedness between these sites and changes over time.

    DAY ITINERARY WITH MV MERMAID I BIODIVERSITY SPECIAL RING DIVES OF FIRE – AMBON – BANDA SEA – ALOR- MAUMERE DAY 1 Check-in on board Mermaid I. After arriving at Ambon and a safety briefing. You will do dives two dives at Ambon Bay in some fabulous muck dives with critters galore. This area is known for many rare and unusual species including the psychedelic frogfish and 2 Rhinopias. DAY 2-3 The next two days will be spent in the Banda Islands, formerly known as the Spice dives Islands. Many of the dive sites around the Banda islands are wall dives. The walls are covered in massive gorgonians, soft corals, barrel sponges and have some very 7 interesting swim throughs. But there are other attractive dive sites such as pinnacles with enormous groups of schooling pyramid butterflyfish, triggerfish and pelagic fishes such as tunas passing through, spectacular hard coral reefs next to the volcano, and great muck dives with lots of mandarin fish at the local jetty. The Banda Islands are much more than diving. It is also a cultural and historical experience. You will spend one morning walking around the village of Banda Neira the main island, with a local guide, visiting the local museum, the old Dutch fort, the old colonial governor’s house, the local fish market and a nutmeg plantation, where you will have breakfast. DAY 4 Manuk – Snake Volcano – sometimes has more snakes than Gunung Api. Still no need dives to be afraid! The site also offers a black sand reef dive with loads of fish and pretty hard corals.

  • The Species Flocks in the Ancient Lakes of Sulawesi, Indonesia
    12 Aquatic biodiversity hotspots in Wallacea: the species fl ocks in the ancient lakes of Sulawesi, Indonesia T h o m a s v o n R i n t e l e n , K r i s t i n a v o n R i n t e l e n , M a t t h i a s G l a u b r e c h t , C h r i s t o p h D . S c h u b a r t a n d F a b i a n H e r d e r 12.1 Introduction Some of the world’s most spectacular species radiations or species fl ocks are found in so-called ‘ancient lakes’. Th ese are long-lived lakes that have existed for 100 000 years (Gorthner et al. 1994 , but see also Albrecht and Wilke 2008 ) or more (e.g. Lake Tanganyika and Lake Baikal). Ancient lakes are justifi ably regarded as hotspots of diversifi cation (e.g. Martens 1997 , Rossiter and Kawanabe 2000 ), even if not all ancient lake species fl ocks match the diversity of the super-fl ock of East African cichlids (e.g. Kornfi eld and Smith 2000 , Kocher 2004 ). Studies on the evo- lution of ancient lake organisms have continuously resulted in important insights into general patterns of speciation and radiation (e.g. Streelman and Danley 2003 ) ever since the seminal review of Brooks ( 1950 ). During the last decade, smaller ancient lakes (c. <1 000 km 2 ), which are generally less well investigated, have attracted increasing attention.

  • (2) Biodiversity in Sulawesi Island Wallacea Is a Famous And
    Interim Report The Study on Arterial Road Network Development Plan for Sulawesi Island and Feasibility Study on Priority Arterial Road Development for South Sulawesi Province June 2007 (2) Biodiversity in Sulawesi Island Wallacea is a famous and essential biogeographical island group in eastern Indonesia which includes Sulawesi Island (which is about 178,700 km2). Sulawesi Island is the largest of these islands occupying about 53% of the island aggrupation located in the northwest part of Wallacea. Because of its tropical climate, its numerous islands, and complex geological history, Wallacea has high biodiversity, with numerous species found nowhere else in the world. Its total number of species is estimated at 11,400 and holds a high probability of undiscovered species due to the area’s isolation and inaccessibility.

  • Wallacea Ecosystem Profile Summary Brochure English Pdf 2.14 MB
    Wallacea Ecosystem Profile Summary 1 About CEPF Established in 2000, the Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund (CEPF) is a global leader in enabling civil society to participate in and influence the conservation of some of the world’s most critical ecosystems. CEPF is a joint initiative of l’Agence Française de Développement (AFD), Conservation International, the European Union, the Global Environment Facility (GEF), the Government of Japan, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and the World Bank. CEPF is unique among funding mechanisms in that it focuses on high-priority biological areas rather than political boundaries and examines conservation threats on a landscape scale. From this perspective, CEPF seeks to identify and support a regional, rather than a national, approach to achieving conservation outcomes and engages a wide range of public and private institutions to address conservation needs through coordinated regional efforts. Cover photo left to right: Green pit viper (Trimeresurus fasciatus). © Robin Moore/iLCP; and Ngade Lake, Ternate, Maluku Islands, Indonesia. © Burung Indonesia/photo by Tri Susanti 2 The Hotspot The Wallacea biodiversity hotspot, which includes the whole of Timor-Leste and the central portion of Indonesia, including the major island groups of Sulawesi, Maluku, and the Lesser Sundas, qualifies as a global biodiversity hotspot due to its high number of plants and animals found nowhere else and accelerating levels of habitat loss. The chief causes include overexploitation of natural resources, habitat degradation, fragmentation, and conversion and pressure from population increase and economic development. Wallacea is fundamentally an island landscape, with more than 1,680 islands and 30 million people, the majority of whom live in coastal areas earning their living from farms, forests, wetlands and the sea.

  • Community and Conservation in Wallacea: Making the Case for the Region, a Methodological Framework, and Research Trends

Vol. 4(1): 1-19, April 2020 Received: 2020-03-04; Accepted: 2020-04-26 ISSN: 2549-4724, E-ISSN: 2549-4333 Special Section on community-based conservation in the Wallacea region Introduction Review Article Community and conservation in Wallacea: Making the case for the region, a methodological framework, and research trends Micah R. Fisher 1,2, Bart Verheijen 1,3, Muhammad Alif K. Sahide 1* 1 Universitas Hasanuddin, Faculty of Forestry 2 University of Hawaii, Affiliate Faculty – Matsunaga Institute for Peace and Conflict Resolution 3 University of Amsterdam * Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract: This introduction provides a review of articles published in the special section on community conservation in the Wallacea region. As editors to the special section, we worked with contributors over a series of workshops to reflexively identify challenges to conducting research on community and conservation in this important and often overlooked region. The challenges are attributable to the dynamism and remoteness of the region, as well as its peripheral position relative to the center of government in Indonesia. We begin this article by making the case for a concerted field of study for the Wallacea region. Next, we draw on empirical research and continued engagement from across Wallacea to propose a framework that helps make better sense of the often perplexing trends involving communities and conservation in the region. We call the framework ASLi, which addresses the key institutions that negotiate conservation and development, including Adat and adaptive local institutions and the State. We situate these institutions within the dimensions of Livelihoods and their relations with natural resources.
