JAKARTA - The Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) sealed the sea fencing activity without a permit made of bamboo in Bekasi waters, West Java, on Wednesday, January 15.

Based on a video upload on the official Instagram account of KKP @kkpgoid seen on Thursday, January 16, the officers of the Directorate General of Marine and Fishery Resources Supervision (PSDKP) of the KKP put up a red banner that reads the termination of the fasting activity.

"The termination of the Sea Restriction Activities without a permit," reads the text on the banner.

Meanwhile, the Special Staff of the Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries for Public Relations and Public Communication, Doni Ismanto, explained that the case was in the case.

Doni said that his party had carried out identification related to this. As a result, there are marine space management activities by the private sector whose aim is to build industrial estates and special terminals.

The company's basis for carrying out activities in the sea space is because it has obtained a permit for the Compliance of Land Spatial Utilization Activities (KKPR).

However, said Doni, from the results of monitoring satellite imagery in the last 24 years, the area in question is marine space or territorial waters. In this case, the Java Sea, so that the basis that must be owned is the Compliance of Spatial Utilization Activities (KKPRL) according to the mandate of the Job Creation Law.

In addition, Doni said, based on the Regional Regulation (Perda) of West Java Province Number 5 of 2019, the marine space or water area used by the private sector is mostly an energy zone that has been limitatively regulated terms and provisions for types of space utilization activities that are allowed.

Thus, activities carried out by companies by means of reclamation are not included in activities that are allowed in the energy zone, because they can have a direct impact on the energy zone function and the decline in sea water quality.

"On that basis, the Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Sakti Wahyu Trenggono instructed the KKP PSDKP team to take law enforcement steps today," said Doni.

He also emphasized that the handling of the case was not due to viral on social media, but the process had been going on for several months.

In fact, Doni continued, in mid-December, the KKP PSDKP team had written to the company to immediately stop activities in the sea because they did not have a KKPRL permit.

"This firm step is a manifestation of the KKP's commitment in accordance with the direction of the Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries, Mr. Sakti Wahyu Trenggono, who wants to make ecology the commander in chief in the development of the blue economy," concluded Doni.
