Eco-diving directives for Raja Ampat
A community - related proposal
LMA KALANAFAT in collaboration with diving experts, BAPEDA, DINAS WARIWISATA; CAMAT Samate, CAMAT Saonek and CAMAT Misool and other KECEMATAN in the new KAPUPATEN RAJA AMPAT, in close collaboration with the village communities identify the best sites for future diving base camps within the boundaries of Raja Ampat.
The proposals for these base camps are then presented to the village communities in whose territorial boundaries these sites are situated.
