JAKARTA - Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (KP) Sakti Wahyu Trenggono conveyed that the solution was related to the polemic of the sea fence. He promised that the investigation process of the establishment of the sea fence would not stagnate.

This was conveyed by Trenggono in a joint working meeting with Commission IV of the DPR RI 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, West Java.

"As a solution to solving problems, the follow-up that will be carried out by the KKP is to continue the investigation process," said Trenggono.

His party also checked the construction of the sea fence that had been sealed. The effort was carried out by referring to the applicable regulations.

Trenggono also coordinates with related ministries and institutions. In particular, in ensuring that the sea space can be utilized properly.

"Consolidation and coordination with ministries/agencies and local governments to control the use of marine space nationally refers to the applicable laws and regulations," said Trenggono.

He also did not deny that his party still had weaknesses in monitoring the use of marine space. This is because Trenggono assessed that the budget obtained by the KKP was not enough to support the functions and duties of his ministry.

"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," he concluded.

The mysterious 30.16-kilometer marine fence in Tangerang Regency, Banten, annexed the coastal areas of dozens of fishing villages in 6 sub-districts. This also makes it difficult for fishermen to find fish.

Until now, the existence of the sea fence still creates mystery and polemics.
