earthling<p>Guardian of the reef, Alor, Indonesia, June 2023</p><p>The sea tribe in Alor knows how to protect the sea. They use simple equipment to catch fish for their own needs, the rest they sell at market. With just one breath, they can dive for more than five minutes. Non-native people previously used fish bombs, but the local tribe replanted the reef and they are looking after the corals and other sea plants.</p><p>Photograph: Bambang Wirawan/EPOTY23</p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/photography" class="u-url mention">@<span>photography</span></a></span> <br /><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Indonesia" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Indonesia</span></a> <br /><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Alor" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Alor</span></a> <br /><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SeaTribes" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SeaTribes</span></a></p>
