JAKARTA - Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (Minister of KP) Sakti Wahyu Trenggono emphasized the importance of quality regulations to accelerate the development of the marine and fisheries sector.
This was revealed by Trenggono in the 24th Anniversary of the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (KKP).
He considered that quality regulations were able to answer the needs of the community and were able to encourage the growth of the fisheries industry in Indonesia.
"It is our job to prepare a regulation by fully understanding what is happening in the field, in the community there. Then, as a result of the regulations we have prepared, the economy will grow. That's the size," said Minister Trenggono, quoted from the official KKP website, Friday, October 27.
According to Trenggono, the marine and fisheries sector has great economic potential, but it cannot be fully utilized because it is constrained by the regulations.
One example of these obstacles is the absence of regulations that regulate the use of fisheries in the deep sea, even though the potential is very large.
In addition, the potential for investment in natural marine fisheries commodities is quite high. Deep sea fish are widely used for the needs of the pharmaceutical industry. The need for quality regulation is also needed to support the implementation of five blue economy programs.
The blue economy is a roadmap for the management of the marine and fisheries sector for the next 25 years.

This program includes expansion of marine conservation areas, measured fishing policies based on quotas, sustainable cultivation development, supervision and control of coastal areas and small islands, and waste management at sea.
Furthermore, Trenggono assessed that quality regulations must be able to answer the needs of all aspects, from industry, coastal communities, to ecological sustainability.
"Let's be more introspective of ourselves, I will too. We still have a lot of homework and great work that is currently in the process. In the future, the KKP must become a ministry that is able to raise the dignity of fishermen to be more prosperous," he concluded.
