Balikpapan Bay VS Balang Island Bridge
Vote to reject the construction of bridges over the island of Borneo trans Balang continue voiced environmental circles. This time two environmentalists Gaby Frediksson and Stan Lotha protesting the plan.
Gaby thought, if through Balang Island, it almost certainly will occur in coastal and mangrove destruction in the eastern Gulf of Balikpapan. It also opened the clearing of mangrove forests with a negative impact on fishing in some river estuaries flowing into the bay and increase erosion and sedimentation in the Gulf.
Advanced researchers from the Netherlands, the mangrove forests on the east shore of Balikpapan Bay and the western part of Sungai Wain Protection Forest would be severely damaged. It also broke the chain of ecosystems that exist so far. Yet as is well known, HLSW become a very important water source to Balikpapan, or for development Kariangau Industrial Area. If HLSW damaged then function as a source of water will also vanish.
According to Gaby, the road development plans in Balang Island is a long project and must be renewed. Besides threatening the environment is also not efficient because the way to go for very long. As an alternative, states Gaby bridge construction Tanjung Batu-Mount exhibition more effective. Because, besides a long way better than via Tanjung Batu, Tanjung Batu-Mountain development will be more secure areas exhibition HLSW.
"As we all know, every opening of the road would have an impact, certainly there are settlements in the vicinity. If passed Balang island very close to worry about potentially occur HLSW forest encroachment, and poaching of protected animals," added Stan Lotha.
Gaby resume, if the bridge is built through the Tanjung Batu not too impacted, especially areas that are already designated as an industrial community. Distance road built closer, which is 30 miles to the bridge spans 3.14 kilometers. While Balang Island bridge, the length of the road about 58 kilometers in length of bridge 2:12 mile. While for the bridge-Nipahnipah Melawai bridge approximately 5.67 kilometers long and 1.3 kilometers of road length.
"From here we see from various factors such as economic, environmental and aesthetic, more worthy of Tanjung Batu-Mount Bridge exhibition," said Gaby.
Besides revealing about those calculations to the public through the press, Gaby also said it would seek to discuss the provincial government to discuss the threat of such Balang Island bridge construction.
And i was searching around internet and found this video which may explained and show you more about how dangerous this bridge to our Environmental also many species sroud it.
