Atol Island-kakaban,Tomini-Petrosia Sp

Kakaban - Pulau Atol

 
 
Kakaban, a low, limestone island off the coast of eastern Borneo, holds a fascinating surprise : a brackish lake literally alive with jellyfish. The lake is totally unique – a biological paradise . – Dr. Thomas Tomascik ( marine ecologist )
Atoll islands like that there are only 2 in the world. One of the islands of Palau, Micronesia, Pacific and one is 4 hours away by speed boat after the northeast coast of Borneo in the Straits of Sulawesi. As in Pasfic, Kakaban have the same species, the jellyfish (jellyfish jellyfish) that inhabit the waters of the lagoon. Jellyfish Jellyfish are not venomous and amounted to millions. With the dive in there, we just see millions of jellyfish jellyfish float with elegant and not at all scary, because it does not sting.
Kakaban are uninhabited island that created thousands of years ago for the removal of the sea floor, which eventually form a lagoon area of ​​5 kilometers of land surrounded by rocky atoll which locks the isolated sea water.

kakaban 2The Government has established this island as an ecological reserve, and many come from overseas researcher to research how to grow plants and living things can survive in an isolated system. Supposedly formed from the recycle nutrients from the lagoon itself, or plankton as food for animals or creatures that burden of life in it.Laguna lake does not have a slit that connects with the sea. However, sea water seepage from the bottom and mixes with rain water makes it a little brackish lake with a salinity of ocean water is not. Interestingly, it has the laguna lake endemic that does not exist in other parts of the world, except in Palau, Micronesia, Pacific.After penetrating about half an hour journey from the coast - through the woods - I saw a shady stretch of the lake lagoon. From the top of this lagoon as seen lakes in general. But inside is a stunning marine ecosystems. Line lagoons bertepikan sturdy roots of mangrove roots as thick as a human arm that mixes with sponges and seaweed.We started diving with visibility memamg never good, because the lake is surrounded by a mangrove habitat. Sight distance and visibility ranges from 10 meters depth of the lagoon is only about 11 meters.Although there is no biological diversity of ecosystems, as in the sea, still making this a very unique lake with jellyfish jellyfish that dominated the lives of the content of the waters.There are two kinds of jelly fish, which live in deep waters such as the species is more solid jelly orhizostome concentrates. One more inverted position as nearly dominate the content of the waters. There are several types of species here, but jellyfish jellyfish were also found fish cardinal fish (Apogon lateralis), the rest is some kind of goby (exyrias Puntang).Kakaban dive in the lake island, is not part of the recreational diving, because diving in the sea not as nice as usual. However, at least it offers a place of outstanding natural research potential. Hopefully, not to be damaged by contact with the life of the community and tourists.
