The reef area is 51,020 square kilometers. Of that amount, 82% of it is at risk. Indonesia holds 17% of the world's total coral reef areas. Blast fishing, which has been illegal since 1985 still goes on today, along with cyanide fishing (1995). Another factor that is hurting the coral reefs in Indonesia is the amount of coral that they export.
Many fishing and diving areas across the whole of South East Asia, already severely damaged from the impact of dynamite fishing, have been ruined or totally lost through cyanide fishing. Cyanide concentration slows photosynthesis in zooxanthellae, which results in coral reefs losing colour; it also eliminates one of their major food sources. [1]
Cyanide fishing is a method to capture live fish for the international aquarium trade and, more recently, to supply restaurant demand for live reef fish. [11] This method involves spraying sodium cyanide into the targeted fish's habitat as a way to stun the fish without killing them. [ 12 ]

The harm upon the reefs is coming full circle and having a social impact through the limited fish stocks. As fish are depleted from these fishing techniques, the fishermen are having a more difficult time feeding themselves. [13] Additionally, the use of explosives may be used as a fishing technique in the live food fish trade.
