JAKARTA - Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (KP) Sakti Wahyu Trenggono asked for budget strengthening through the revision of the Law (UU) on Maritime Affairs.
He claims that strengthening the budget can also strengthen the supervision of his ministry in the sea space and avoid things like the emergence of illegal marine fences.
This was conveyed by Trenggono in a joint working meeting with Commission IV of the DPR at the Parliament Complex, Jakarta, Thursday, January 23.
The meeting discussed the polemic of the sea fence in the waters of Tangerang, Banten, and Bekasi Regencies, West Java.
"We realize that currently the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) still has weaknesses in monitoring the use of marine space. As a result of limited infrastructure and operational support that requires strengthening the budget and strengthening the duties, functions and responsibilities of the KKP through the revision of the marine law," said Trenggono.
Trenggono said that his party had tried to seal the 30.16 kilometer sea fence in Tangerang on January 9, 2025.
"Meanwhile in Bekasi, West Java on January 15, 2025, because it does not have an Approval for the Compliance of Marine Spatial Utilization Activities (PKKPRL) and a reclamation permit," he said.
He emphasized that the sea fencing carried out had a negative impact on the marine water ecosystem.
Then narrow the fishing area to the detriment of fishermen and cultivators.
"As well as disrupting the operations of PLTU Banten 03 and PLTGU estuary of Bekasi, which are vital national objects," said Trenggono.
