JAKARTA - The Marine Area Safety and Security Supervision Team of the Bangka Belitung Islands Province has curbed the illegal tin ore mining pontoons in the waters of Teluk Kelabat, Bangka Regency, to minimize damage to the marine environment.
"We are controlling these illegal tin mines so that they no longer carry out activities until they get legal permits," said Asban Aris, Coordinator of the Babel Sea Area Safety and Security Monitoring Team, quoting Antara, Saturday, July 23.
He said during an operation to eradicate illegal tin ore mining activities in the waters of Teluk Kelabat, Belinyu District, Bangka Regency, a joint team found a pontoon without a permit to operate in these waters.
"This operation aims to make miners carry out mining legally because as a result of this illegal activity it disturbs the marine ecosystem," he said.
