  • Unique fishing platform<br />
<br />
These bamboo fishing platforms, called bagan, are anchored in the Java Sea near the Ujung Kulon Penninsula.  At dusk a kerosene lamp on the platform is lit and lowered to water level, and the nets are lowered. The fish are attracted to the lights and captured in the nets.  Boats then come by and collect the fish to taken them to market (photos of the fishing boats to be posted after alphabet day)<br />
<br />
Several other photos of this interesting way of fishing, plus the greater crested terns that frequent the platforms, can be seen here: <a href="http://goo.gl/Wha7HR">http://goo.gl/Wha7HR</a><br />
