    Terumbu Karang adalah sekumpulan hewan karang yang telah bersimbiosis dengan jenis tumbuhan. Koloni karang yang dibentuk oleh ribuan hewan kecil (Polip). Dalam kebanyakan spesies, satu individu polip karang telah berkembang menjadi banyak individu yang disebut koloni. Hewan ini telah memiliki bentuk yang unik dan warna yang beraneka rupa. Terumbu karang merupakan habitat bagi spesies tumbuhan laut, hewan laut, dan mikroorganisme.
     Keberadaan terumbu karang telah menjadi sesuatu yang sangat penting bagi ekosistem laut. Selain telah menjadi penahan abrasi akibat gelombang laut sebelum menyapu pesisir, terumbu karang juga merupakan habitat yang sangat penting sebagai rumah ikan. Selain itu, keunikan terumbu karang telah menjadi keindahan tersendiri dan bermanfaat sebagai tujuan wisata atau lokasi olahraga selam, dan tentunya sebagai tempat penelitian.
     Kabupaten Ketapang yang telah memiliki lebih dari 200 km garis pantai, dan 41 pulau kecil telah memiliki potensi yang cukup baik bagi keberadaan terumbu karang. "Inilah yang kemudian telah menginspirasi para pegiat lingkungan yang tergabung dalam komunitas "Ketapang Biodiversity Keeping" (KBK), yang dulunya lebih dikenal sebagai Kawan Burung Ketapang untuk berkontribusi dalam upaya pelestarian terumbu karang di wilayah laut Kabupaten Ketapang!" kata Abdurahman Al Qadrie, Ketua KBK.
      Pemerintah Kabupaten Ketapang, dalam hal in Dinas Kelautan dan Perikanan Kabupaten Ketapang (DKP), dalam melalui Kabid Kelautan Pesisir dan Pulau-pulau Kecil (KP3K), sangat menaruh perhatian yang besar terhadap keberadaan dan kelestarian terumbu karang. Hal ini telah disampaikan oleh Kepala Bidang KP3K, Ir. Zamzani pada saat penulis berkunjung ke kantornya di Jalan Jendral Sudirman, Ketapang (12/11/2013). Menurut beliau, tindakan nyata yang akan dilaksanakan dalam waktu dekat ini adalah dengan mengadakan kajian potensi bawah air laut. Adapun tujuan dari kegiatan ini adalah untuk dapat memetakan lokasi keberadaan terumbu karang, tingkat keterancaman, dan langkah-langkah yang harus dilakukan kedepannya.
      "Prioritas utama kita adalah pulau-pulau kecil yang telah berpenghuni, karena terumbu karang akan mudah rentan terhadap kegiatan manusia!" tambahnya. Terumbu karang di sektar Pulau Bawal juga merupakan prioritas utama, mengingat di pulau ini juga terdapat aktivitas yang cukup besar dibanding Pulau Cempedak dan Pulau Sawi.
       "Sebagai rumah ikan yang telah menyediakan perlindungan dan sumber makanan bagi ikan, sudah barang tentu terumbu karang telah menjadi pendukung utama perkembangan populasi ikan di sekitarnya. Hal ini tentu juga menjadi penopang sumber pendapatan bagi nelayan laut. Semestinya lah kita harus menjaga dan melestarikan terumbu karang!" kata Junaidi, SP, anggota DPRD Kabupaten Ketapang yang menyempatkan diri melihat dari dekat kehidupan nelayan di Pulau Sawi dan Potensi terumbu karangnya. "Dan Pemerintah juga telah berupaya membantu masyarakat nelayan laut yang tidak memiliki terumbu karang di sekitar wilayah laut tangkapan mereka, yaitu dengan membuat rumpun-rumpun tempat ikan berlindung. Setidaknya kita telah membuat 2 rumpun yang berukuran besar atau yang diistilahkan dengan "Fish Apartment" yaitu di wilayah laut Pulau Cempedak dan wilayah laut Pagarmentimun, selain rumpun-rumpun kecil lainnya!" tambahnya.
      "Harapan kita adalah, bagaimana semua pihak dapat menyadari pentingnya keberadaan terumbu karang bagi kehidupan bawah laut dan manusia, kemudian serius dalam melakukan tindakan penjagaan dan pelestariannya!" tambah Abdurahman Al Qadrie.

  Beberapa aktivitas manusia yang dapat merusak terumbu karangadalah sebagai berikut:
·         membuang sampah ke laut dan pantai yang dapat mencemari air laut,
·   membawa pulang ataupun menyentuh terumbu karang saat menyelam, satu sentuhan saja dapat membunuh terumbu karang,
·    pemborosan air, semakin banyak air yang digunakan maka semakin banyak pula limbah air yang dihasilkan dan dibuang ke laut,
·      penggunaan pupuk dan pestisida buatan, seberapapun jauh letak pertanian tersebut dari laut residu kimia dari pupuk dan pestisida buatan pada akhinya akan terbuang ke laut juga,
·    Membuang jangkar pada pesisir pantai secara tidak sengaja akan dapat merusak terumbu karang yang berada di bawahnya,
·         terdapatnya predator terumbu karang, seperti sejenis siput drupella,
·         penambangan,
·         pembangunan permukiman,
·         reklamasi pantai,
·         polusi,
·        penangkapan ikan dengan cara yang salah, seperti pemakaian bom ikan.

WASHINGTON — The former deputy director of the C.I.A. asserts in a forthcoming book that Republicans, in their eagerness to politicize the killing of the American ambassador to Libya, repeatedly distorted the agency’s analysis of events. But he also argues that the C.I.A. should get out of the business of providing “talking points” for administration officials in national security events that quickly become partisan, as happened after the Benghazi attack in 2012.

The official, Michael J. Morell, dismisses the allegation that the United States military and C.I.A. officers “were ordered to stand down and not come to the rescue of their comrades,” and he says there is “no evidence” to support the charge that “there was a conspiracy between C.I.A. and the White House to spin the Benghazi story in a way that would protect the political interests of the president and Secretary Clinton,” referring to the secretary of state at the time, Hillary Rodham Clinton.

But he also concludes that the White House itself embellished some of the talking points provided by the Central Intelligence Agency and had blocked him from sending an internal study of agency conclusions to Congress.

“I finally did so without asking,” just before leaving government, he writes, and after the White House released internal emails to a committee investigating the State Department’s handling of the issue.

A lengthy congressional investigation remains underway, one that many Republicans hope to use against Mrs. Clinton in the 2016 election cycle.

In parts of the book, “The Great War of Our Time” (Twelve), Mr. Morell praises his C.I.A. colleagues for many successes in stopping terrorist attacks, but he is surprisingly critical of other C.I.A. failings — and those of the National Security Agency.

Soon after Mr. Morell retired in 2013 after 33 years in the agency, President Obama appointed him to a commission reviewing the actions of the National Security Agency after the disclosures of Edward J. Snowden, a former intelligence contractor who released classified documents about the government’s eavesdropping abilities. Mr. Morell writes that he was surprised by what he found.

“You would have thought that of all the government entities on the planet, the one least vulnerable to such grand theft would have been the N.S.A.,” he writes. “But it turned out that the N.S.A. had left itself vulnerable.”

He concludes that most Wall Street firms had better cybersecurity than the N.S.A. had when Mr. Snowden swept information from its systems in 2013. While he said he found himself “chagrined by how well the N.S.A. was doing” compared with the C.I.A. in stepping up its collection of data on intelligence targets, he also sensed that the N.S.A., which specializes in electronic spying, was operating without considering the implications of its methods.

“The N.S.A. had largely been collecting information because it could, not necessarily in all cases because it should,” he says.

The book is to be released next week.

Mr. Morell was a career analyst who rose through the ranks of the agency, and he ended up in the No. 2 post. He served as President George W. Bush’s personal intelligence briefer in the first months of his presidency — in those days, he could often be spotted at the Starbucks in Waco, Tex., catching up on his reading — and was with him in the schoolhouse in Florida on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, when the Bush presidency changed in an instant.

Mr. Morell twice took over as acting C.I.A. director, first when Leon E. Panetta was appointed secretary of defense and then when retired Gen. David H. Petraeus resigned over an extramarital affair with his biographer, a relationship that included his handing her classified notes of his time as America’s best-known military commander.

Mr. Morell says he first learned of the affair from Mr. Petraeus only the night before he resigned, and just as the Benghazi events were turning into a political firestorm. While praising Mr. Petraeus, who had told his deputy “I am very lucky” to run the C.I.A., Mr. Morell writes that “the organization did not feel the same way about him.” The former general “created the impression through the tone of his voice and his body language that he did not want people to disagree with him (which was not true in my own interaction with him),” he says.

But it is his account of the Benghazi attacks — and how the C.I.A. was drawn into the debate over whether the Obama White House deliberately distorted its account of the death of Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens — that is bound to attract attention, at least partly because of its relevance to the coming presidential election. The initial assessments that the C.I.A. gave to the White House said demonstrations had preceded the attack. By the time analysts reversed their opinion, Susan E. Rice, now the national security adviser, had made a series of statements on Sunday talk shows describing the initial assessment. The controversy and other comments Ms. Rice made derailed Mr. Obama’s plan to appoint her as secretary of state.

The experience prompted Mr. Morell to write that the C.I.A. should stay out of the business of preparing talking points — especially on issues that are being seized upon for “political purposes.” He is critical of the State Department for not beefing up security in Libya for its diplomats, as the C.I.A., he said, did for its employees.

But he concludes that the assault in which the ambassador was killed took place “with little or no advance planning” and “was not well organized.” He says the attackers “did not appear to be looking for Americans to harm. They appeared intent on looting and conducting some vandalism,” setting fires that killed Mr. Stevens and a security official, Sean Smith.

Mr. Morell paints a picture of an agency that was struggling, largely unsuccessfully, to understand dynamics in the Middle East and North Africa when the Arab Spring broke out in late 2011 in Tunisia. The agency’s analysts failed to see the forces of revolution coming — and then failed again, he writes, when they told Mr. Obama that the uprisings would undercut Al Qaeda by showing there was a democratic pathway to change.

“There is no good explanation for our not being able to see the pressures growing to dangerous levels across the region,” he writes. The agency had again relied too heavily “on a handful of strong leaders in the countries of concern to help us understand what was going on in the Arab street,” he says, and those leaders themselves were clueless.

Moreover, an agency that has always overvalued secretly gathered intelligence and undervalued “open source” material “was not doing enough to mine the wealth of information available through social media,” he writes. “We thought and told policy makers that this outburst of popular revolt would damage Al Qaeda by undermining the group’s narrative,” he writes.

Instead, weak governments in Egypt, and the absence of governance from Libya to Yemen, were “a boon to Islamic extremists across both the Middle East and North Africa.”

Mr. Morell is gentle about most of the politicians he dealt with — he expresses admiration for both Mr. Bush and Mr. Obama, though he accuses former Vice President Dick Cheney of deliberately implying a connection between Al Qaeda and Iraq that the C.I.A. had concluded probably did not exist. But when it comes to the events leading up to the Bush administration’s decision to go to war in Iraq, he is critical of his own agency.

Mr. Morell concludes that the Bush White House did not have to twist intelligence on Saddam Hussein’s alleged effort to rekindle the country’s work on weapons of mass destruction.

“The view that hard-liners in the Bush administration forced the intelligence community into its position on W.M.D. is just flat wrong,” he writes. “No one pushed. The analysts were already there and they had been there for years, long before Bush came to office.”

Late in April, after Native American actors walked off in disgust from the set of Adam Sandler’s latest film, a western sendup that its distributor, Netflix, has defended as being equally offensive to all, a glow of pride spread through several Native American communities.

Tantoo Cardinal, a Canadian indigenous actress who played Black Shawl in “Dances With Wolves,” recalled thinking to herself, “It’s come.” Larry Sellers, who starred as Cloud Dancing in the 1990s television show “Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman,” thought, “It’s about time.” Jesse Wente, who is Ojibwe and directs film programming at the TIFF Bell Lightbox in Toronto, found himself encouraged and surprised. There are so few film roles for indigenous actors, he said, that walking off the set of a major production showed real mettle.

But what didn’t surprise Mr. Wente was the content of the script. According to the actors who walked off the set, the film, titled “The Ridiculous Six,” included a Native American woman who passes out and is revived after white men douse her with alcohol, and another woman squatting to urinate while lighting a peace pipe. “There’s enough history at this point to have set some expectations around these sort of Hollywood depictions,” Mr. Wente said.

The walkout prompted a rhetorical “What do you expect from an Adam Sandler film?,” and a Netflix spokesman said that in the movie, blacks, Mexicans and whites were lampooned as well. But Native American actors and critics said a broader issue was at stake. While mainstream portrayals of native peoples have, Mr. Wente said, become “incrementally better” over the decades, he and others say, they remain far from accurate and reflect a lack of opportunities for Native American performers. What’s more, as Native Americans hunger for representation on screen, critics say the absence of three-dimensional portrayals has very real off-screen consequences.

“Our people are still healing from historical trauma,” said Loren Anthony, one of the actors who walked out. “Our youth are still trying to figure out who they are, where they fit in this society. Kids are killing themselves. They’re not proud of who they are.” They also don’t, he added, see themselves on prime time television or the big screen. Netflix noted while about five people walked off the “The Ridiculous Six” set, 100 or so Native American actors and extras stayed.

But in interviews, nearly a dozen Native American actors and film industry experts said that Mr. Sandler’s humor perpetuated decades-old negative stereotypes. Mr. Anthony said such depictions helped feed the despondency many Native Americans feel, with deadly results: Native Americans have the highest suicide rate out of all the country’s ethnicities.

The on-screen problem is twofold, Mr. Anthony and others said: There’s a paucity of roles for Native Americans — according to the Screen Actors Guild in 2008 they accounted for 0.3 percent of all on-screen parts (those figures have yet to be updated), compared to about 2 percent of the general population — and Native American actors are often perceived in a narrow way.

In his Peabody Award-winning documentary “Reel Injun,” the Cree filmmaker Neil Diamond explored Hollywood depictions of Native Americans over the years, and found they fell into a few stereotypical categories: the Noble Savage, the Drunk Indian, the Mystic, the Indian Princess, the backward tribal people futilely fighting John Wayne and manifest destiny. While the 1990 film “Dances With Wolves” won praise for depicting Native Americans as fully fleshed out human beings, not all indigenous people embraced it. It was still told, critics said, from the colonialists’ point of view. In an interview, John Trudell, a Santee Sioux writer, actor (“Thunderheart”) and the former chairman of the American Indian Movement, described the film as “a story of two white people.”

“God bless ‘Dances with Wolves,’ ” Michael Horse, who played Deputy Hawk in “Twin Peaks,” said sarcastically. “Even ‘Avatar.’ Someone’s got to come save the tribal people.”

Dan Spilo, a partner at Industry Entertainment who represents Adam Beach, one of today’s most prominent Native American actors, said while typecasting dogs many minorities, it is especially intractable when it comes to Native Americans. Casting directors, he said, rarely cast them as police officers, doctors or lawyers. “There’s the belief that the Native American character should be on reservations or riding a horse,” he said.

“We don’t see ourselves,” Mr. Horse said. “We’re still an antiquated culture to them, and to the rest of the world.”

Ms. Cardinal said she was once turned down for the role of the wife of a child-abusing cop because the filmmakers felt that casting her would somehow be “too political.”

Another sore point is the long run of white actors playing American Indians, among them Burt Lancaster, Rock Hudson, Audrey Hepburn and, more recently, Johnny Depp, whose depiction of Tonto in the 2013 film “Lone Ranger,” was viewed as racist by detractors. There are, of course, exceptions. The former A&E series “Longmire,” which, as it happens, will now be on Netflix, was roundly praised for its depiction of life on a Northern Cheyenne reservation, with Lou Diamond Phillips, who is of Cherokee descent, playing a Northern Cheyenne man.

Others also point to the success of Mr. Beach, who played a Mohawk detective in “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” and landed a starring role in the forthcoming D C Comics picture “Suicide Squad.” Mr. Beach said he had come across insulting scripts backed by people who don’t see anything wrong with them.

“I’d rather starve than do something that is offensive to my ancestral roots,” Mr. Beach said. “But I think there will always be attempts to drawn on the weakness of native people’s struggles. The savage Indian will always be the savage Indian. The white man will always be smarter and more cunning. The cavalry will always win.”

The solution, Mr. Wente, Mr. Trudell and others said, lies in getting more stories written by and starring Native Americans. But Mr. Wente noted that while independent indigenous film has blossomed in the last two decades, mainstream depictions have yet to catch up. “You have to stop expecting for Hollywood to correct it, because there seems to be no ability or desire to correct it,” Mr. Wente said.

There have been calls to boycott Netflix but, writing for Indian Country Today Media Network, which first broke news of the walk off, the filmmaker Brian Young noted that the distributor also offered a number of films by or about Native Americans.

The furor around “The Ridiculous Six” may drive more people to see it. Then one of the questions that Mr. Trudell, echoing others, had about the film will be answered: “Who the hell laughs at this stuff?”
