Nickel mines operated by different companies surround fishing villages of Tapuemea and Tapunggaya, two major settlement located at the shore of Lasolo Bay, North Konawe, Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia. Fishery is used to be the major income for the locals until nickel started to be exploited in the area a little more than a decade ago. As for now, about 80% of adult males have jobs in mining-related work, although most are limited to low level works.

Nickel mines is both a blessing and a threat for local populations. They employ many local villagers but at the same time the grave environmental impact is hard to ignore. Flooding threat during rainy season, marine pollution because of mud sediment, and dust from the mines are among the major problem.
