Ombudsman Is Handling One Sea Pagar Report

JAKARTA - Ombudsman member Hery Susanto revealed that his party was handling a report related to sea fencing.

Hery explained that the report had been published by the Examination Result Report (LHP) regarding the issue of title certificates (SHM) in the waters.

"However, because this is not the result of a study or investigation, this is a private case, so we have not been able to publish it. It is not half-hearted to be involved in this case. Later there will be a next topic," said Hery as quoted by ANTARA, Tuesday, January 21.

The case handled by the institution shows that the territorial waters have become the object of a regional struggle.

"In the past, the fence ate plants, entered the forest, to the extent that conflicts with animals, tigers, elephants, wild boars, and others. Now conflict with fishermen, including fish and crabs," he said.

He said that currently Indonesian waters are increasingly threatened by sea fencing.

For recent cases of sea fencing, such as in Tangerang, Banten, President Prabowo ordered his staff through the Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Sakti Wahyu Trenggono and related parties to investigate and investigate sea fencing in these waters that do not have permits or are illegal.

"The president's directive, one, investigate it thoroughly so that we have to correct the legal corridor. If it doesn't exist, it must belong to the state," Trenggono said when giving a press statement at the Presidential Palace in Jakarta, Monday (20/1).
