JAKARTA - The Special Staff of the Governor of DKI Jakarta for Social Communication, Chico Hakim, responded to the emergence of a concrete embankment in the sea waters built near the Cilincing area, North Jakarta.

Chico revealed that the permit for the construction of the concrete embankment, which has recently been in the spotlight on social media, is not the authority of the DKI Provincial Government, but the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (KKP).

"This is the authority of the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries. Because it is the central authority managed by the Marunda Port, the authority lies with the KKP regarding licensing," Chico said when contacted, Wednesday, September 10.

Therefore, Stafsus Pramono Anung said, all activities in the North Jakarta port area, including in Marunda, Cilincing, became the authority of the KKP to follow up.

"Because this area is located in the vicinity of the Marunda port, please ask the port manager. The manager is PT," said Chico.

Head of the DKI Jakarta Water Resources Agency, Ika Agustin Ningrum, emphasized that both the DKI Provincial Government and the central government, in this case the Ministry of Public Works (PU), are not currently building embankments in the area.

"This is not the work of the Natural Resources Service and also not the Ministry of Public Works," said Ika.

Social media was shocked by a concrete embankment in the coastal area of the Cilincing area, North Jakarta. The existence of the embankment was recorded in a video uploaded to the Instagram account @cilinginfo.

The video was recorded by a fishing boat from above the boat. You can see concrete with a length of 2 to 3 kilometers which seems to divide the waters on the north coast of Jakarta. The fisherman revealed that he had to go far to the ocean in order to find fish.

"The concrete embankment on the Cilincing Coast makes it difficult for coastal fishermen to pass. There are approximately 23 kilometers long. Initially, the crossing between fishermen made it difficult to find fish because they had to turn far away from the concrete embankment," said a fisherman in the video.

Until now, it is known who the owner built the concrete embankment. The existence of this new embankment that has drawn public spotlight is still a mystery.
