Fish Farms

All over SE Asia, fish farms are cropping up. One is also here in Lake Toba. There are 20 tons of fish harvested each day from this relatively small farm. The fish are exported to Europe and America. It is on your menu. Owned by foreign companies who pay off the local authorities, this farm is polluting the lake. Although the lake is 4ooo ft deep and quite large, it can't sustain this impact for long. We certainly wouldn't allow such a pristine area to be contaminated Stateside. But here, on the other side of the world, where no one is watching, or cares enough, the environment is being corrupted for our satisfaction. Don't get me started!
