7 Fishermen's Boats Damaged By Abrasion Of Ampenan Beach Mataram

NTB - Abrasi at Ampenan Beach, Mataram, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) Province, caused seven fishing boats to be heavily damaged.

The head of the Mataram City DKP, Irwan Harimansyah, said that from the results of the data collection, the damage to the seven fishing boats was triggered by friction between boats in the coastal border parking area.

"The boats parked in the coastal border were not one or two but dozens, so when the boat abrasion hit each other and there were parts of the boat that were broken," he said in Mataram, Thursday, February 1, which was confiscated by Antara.

This was conveyed in response to a statement from the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) of Mataram City which stated that as a result of coastal abrasion on Saturday, January 27, seven fishing boats were damaged, two of which were heavily damaged.

It's just that after collecting data, his party has not been able to confirm whether the fishing boats will be given assistance for further intervention or not because no budget is available.

"In principle, after we have the data, we will try to propose assistance," he said.

Meanwhile, to avoid the same thing, he said, one of the solutions given to fishermen is to find a more representative boat parking lot during the west wind season.

"Thus, various potential impacts of disasters that can trigger boat damage can be minimized," he said.

Furthermore, Irwan said that the current weather changes are indeed difficult to predict because usually starting from November to March every year there will be extreme weather.

However, for this year, according to him, there has been a change and the current weather is not as extreme as in previous years.

"There may be a shift in the west wind season this year. However, we must remain vigilant. Like yesterday's abrasion, even though the weather in the middle of the city was calm, but on the coast there was high waves," he said.

Related to that, his party through the extension team continues to appeal to fishermen to remain vigilant when going to sea.

"Although on land the weather looks calm, the weather at sea is not necessarily the same," he said.
