JAKARTA Sea fences on the coast of Tangerang have been the talk of the audience lately. The seventh President Joko Widodo is accused of being involved in the case of the sea fence.

The no-man's fence, which was stuck 30.16 kilometers long, managed to confiscate the public's attention in at least the past week. The problem is that this tens of kilometers long sea fence has actually been reported by local residents, especially those who work as fishermen to local authorities.

But unfortunately there was no significant response, until this case went viral and finally the sea fence in Tangerang began to be dismantled by the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries.

In addition, the question of who is behind the fence is still a mystery, even though rumors are circulating leading to a well-known company in Indonesia.

This 30.16-kilometer bamboo fence is now a symbol of controversy because it appears to be no man. Its existence has been reported by the local community to the Banten Provincial Marine and Fisheries Service since August 2024.

They complained about this fence for blocking access to the sea, which has been a source of livelihood for local fishermen. In addition, the unmaintained fence structure also raises concerns about environmental and security hazards.

In addition, through the Bhumi Agrarian and Spatial Planning/Deputy platform of the Head of the National Land Agency (ATR/BPN), it is known that the coastal coast in Kohod Village has had a Building Use Rights (HGB) permit since 2023. If traced through Google Earth, the area that has HGB is right on the edge of the ocean, increasing the complexity of this case.

The debate about the sea fence is not only related to legality, but also the impact on the environment, local community rights, and coastal governance. This case is in the public spotlight, a number of topics are in the spotlight of the discussion of social media netizen X.

In a week of netizens' conversation between January 16, 2025, the occupancy intensity reached 143.5 thousand which was made by approximately 10 thousand users. The total upload was able to achieve 168.6 million impressions in the form of tickets, reply, and repost," said the Netray report.

According to Netray's monitoring for a week, discussions about this topic have emerged since January 16 with a fairly high intensity, namely 6.6 uploads and continues to increase every day.

The intensity of the spike was seen on January 19 and 20, with approximately 24 thousand uploads appearing, and on the last day of monitoring netizens' uploads peaked to 35.9 thousand uploads.

On that day, many discussed the continuation of the demolition of the sea fence, including the presence of Titiek Suharto who also visited the location.

Although his leadership period ended in October 2024, many netizens considered the emergence of marine fence cases due to the results of Jokowi's work.

This opinion was expressed by a political academic through his account @yoeskenawas. The figure who is often called Mulyono on social media is considered to have left many mines, making the state worse. @yoeskenawas' opinion has achieved so many impressions, reaching 6 thousand people, 1.8 thousand reposts, and 98 comments.

Jokowi's name continues to be called by netizens until it becomes popular and appears on the Top Words and Top Hastags charts, such as #jokowikangendi Prison and #UsutKorupsiJokowi," wrote Netray.

Another account questioned who owns the fence, as stated by @Jumianto_RK. Even though the location of the sea fence was very close to the location of the Jokowi administration, so people were surprised why no authority knew about this.

Meanwhile, the @Boediantar4 account argues that the sea fence is a debt of Jokowi's gratitude to Aguan alias Sugianto Kusuma, the owner of the company Agung Sedayu Group. A writer and businessman, Jonru Ginting (@jonruguntingnew), said that the discovery of this sea fence became the way of the destruction of Jokowi and his gang.

In addition to the alleged involvement of the Jokowi government, many netizens discussed the issue of HGB certificates of 263 fields in the sea fence area.

This can be seen from the word certificate that stands out in the collection of popular words or Top Words.

Muhammad Said Didu, an engineer and former Secretary of the Ministry of SOEs, through the @msaid_didu account hopes that the authorities will immediately check the sea fence certificate, especially in Kohod Village, Pakuhaji District, which will later pave the way to other villages.

Another opinion from PDIP politician M. Guntur Romli, through his account @GunRomli, who urged this case to be investigated as clearly as possible. He wondered why the sea could be pegged per field.

Meanwhile, the @Romaitsu account is wondering why the current Minister of ATR/BPN only dares to name two HGB certificate owners, namely PT Intan Agung Makmur and PT Cahaya Sejati, instead of Agung Sedayu Group and Salim Group.
