TANGERANG - Head of the Naval Information Service (Kadispenal), First Admiral I Made Wira Hady, said that the process of dismantling the sea fence at Tanjung Pasir Beach in Teluknaga, Tangerang Regency, Banten, is targeted for completion for the next 10 days.

"In 10 days, we will involve the TNI and fishermen to demolish this sea fence," said Wira, quoted by ANTARA, Saturday, January 18.

He explained, from the 10-day target, the completion of the demolition of the sea fence along the coast of Tanjung Pasir Beach was carried out in stages with an implementation of 2 kilometers per day.

"It seems impossible if we will carry out the 30 km in one day. So we will arrange the mechanism, at least the target per day is 2 km," he explained.

The mechanism for implementing the demolition is for per cluster or each region by coordinating with related parties, both from the ministry and the regional government of Banten.

"Later we will invite other stakeholders to carry out this demolition, and for today only the ranks of the Indonesian Navy," he said.

During this demolition process, it was carried out manually or by revocation and withdrawal using fishing boats and Indonesian Navy rubber boats.

"The difficulty is to pull out the fence pole which is stuck in a depth of one to two meters. So we pull it using a fishing boat," he said.

In this case, the Indonesian Navy has deployed 600 personnel with the help of fishermen for the process of dismantling the sea fence.

The first demolition stage involved 30 fishing boats. Where, the ships are used to transport the object of the bamboo fence.

Meanwhile, the Director General of PSDKP of the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) Pung Nugroho Saksono welcomed the rapid response to the demolition efforts carried out by the Indonesian Navy and the community.

"If there is such information, it is very good and we are very grateful," he said.

According to Pung, there is a polemic of this sea fence, so those who install it must also take responsibility to revoke it.

"The sooner it gets better," he said.

With the bamboo fence as long as 30 km removed as soon as possible, it is hoped that fishermen will no longer be disturbed in carrying out their daily activities. He also emphasized that installing a sea fence without permission is something that should not be done.

"Moreover, the marine fence is in the Capture Fisheries Zone and the Energy Management Zone which can harm fishermen and has the potential to have a negative impact on coastal ecosystems," he said.

Previously, MPR Chairman Ahmad Muzani said President Prabowo had ordered 30.16 kilometers of sea fences in Tangerang waters to be revoked and their holdings investigated.

"He already agreed to the sea fence: first, it was sealed. Then, the second he ordered it to be revoked, that's it. Investigate, that's it," said Muzani.

From the results of the investigation and monitoring process in the field, if the installation of the bamboo sea fence is carried out, it is not using heavy equipment. But with a manual or human force.

Nevertheless, to reveal and find out who must be responsible in this case. So, his party is now continuing to carry out an in-depth investigation.

Until now, the KKP has sealed a hang fence stretched across the sea of Tangerang Regency, this is a form of the government's presence in conflict in the community.
