Bontobahari or Bonto Bahari is a small town and kecamatan in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. The town is located on the south-eastern coast of Sulawesi on the Flores Sea and the surrounding area forms the Bontobahari Faunal Reserve, a protected area under conservation.

Economy

Bonto Bahari means "Land of the Sea"; it is located at sea level and the soil in area is said to be too thin to support agriculture.[1][2] It contains a series of fishponds which are owned by local villagers.[3] Bontobahari is noted for its Konjo or Kunjo boatbuilders, Konjo being a tribe which inhabit Bontobahari and surrounding areas of Kajang, Herlang and Bonto Tiro within the Bulukumba Regency.[4] In 1987 villagers built the Hai Marge and in December of that year, 13 people from Makassar sailed for northern Australia in it. The trip was a success and today this boat which was built in Bontobahari is located in the Darwin Museum.[5]

gollark: Or maybe some the people concerned about this are just vaguely transphobic, who knows.

gollark: I assume it's mostly just because it's a more recent issue, and possibly because it's smaller in scope and easier to deal with one than the others.

gollark: That works as a fully general counterargument for literally every problem except the worst one(s) that exist at some time.

gollark: I'm not sure how "some subgroup may end up able to shift the balance of sports rather a lot" is the same problem as "there exist many stupid people in America".

gollark: That seems like just another variation on the "other problems exist, so ignore this potential one" argument.
