Giliketapan Snorkeling. 1/30/22

Giliketapan is just off the coast of Probolinggo and the coral is badly eroded. The island is densely inhabited and the fishermen have a history of harvesting coral for building supplies. Currently, the island is trying to protect and clean the coral and much of it is in a reseeded bed which is off limit for 10 years. I saw the areas they use for tourists to try to prove protecting the coral is worth more than building with it. Water quality was poor.
