Report 18th..............Padang Padang Ship Wreck Clean Up
6th September, 2008          Close to the finish

The removal of the metal from the toxic wreck has been long and hard work for the salvage team sent in by the water Police. They burned the remains of the wreck many times as it broke up.

(Thou environmentally misdirected, these guys are victims of their own financial situation. Unskilled, and on the bottom of the food chain, they are prepared to do anything to survive, make a living and feed their families. There isn't any social security funds, health insurance, retirement benefit etc here. Work in the middle of toxic fumes, oil and diesel........anything to survive. The unskilled poor and needy cop it both ways. They need the work, even thou it is environmental damaging. Then after the environment is damaged, they can not make a living. Management of resources is the main issue.)

On our last survey yesterday there are the 3 engine blocks, and the propeller shaft with most of the propeller attached, two or three large 2-3 meter pieces remain. Some of the tackle, that the salvage team were using is still there.

Our 11 man Role Team did a fairly extensive clean up. The final clean up is now not far away.
Chris Mason Parker, Role's new marine Biologist dived and did a small survey of surrounding reef to check the health of the Marine life and also check the line up for dangerous wreckage.
The line up except for a few pieces he removed is clair and the marine life appears to be on the rebound.

(Please help us educate and re-skill the needy of the bukit. With 4-5000 villas and houses scheduled to be built over the next 2-3 years, and extremely poor infrastructure some needy Balinese and Indonesians are economically falling behind. They are at risk of becoming the coolies of the bukit. They need skills to create new businesses and jobs. Check out our programs.)
