JAKARTA: Authorities say they are investigating who might be behind a mysterious bamboo fence erected in coastal waters off Tangerang, Banten, though critics suspect the barrier was erected as markers for a reclamation project to which the government has turned a blind eye.

No individual or entity has claimed responsibility for the fence, which spans 30km of Tangerang’s 51km coastline along the Java Sea and was reportedly installed sometime last year.
