Pristine dive sites in North Sulawesi spared

The Indonesian Ministry of Environment recently announced that a gold mine operation, which was threatening to dump millions of tons of waste into the sea in North Sulawesi, will not be allowed to do so. British-registered "Archipelago Holdings" gold mine (operating locally as "MSM"), threatened to dump up to 1,500,000 tons of ground up mining waste into the sea, between the award-winning Bunaken National Park and the famous Lembeh Strait.

If the mining company has 1500000 tones of waste to dump.

Put as much as possible back into the hole they dug.
