YOGYAKARTA The impact of sea sand exports that President Jokowi has again allowed has drawn the spotlight. This policy has even drawn special debate among environmentalists. So what impact will be caused by sea sand exports?
As is known, President Jokowi has just issued Government Regulation No. 26 of 2023 concerning Management of sedimentation Results in the Sea. One of the highlights of the PP is the allowing sea sand exports.
Whereas sea sand exports were previously banned by the Government since 2003 through a Decree (SK) of the Minister of Industry and Trade (Menperindag) Number 117/MPP/Kep/2/2003 concerning Temporary Termination of Sea Sand Exports. The ban on imports itself was banned to prevent environmental damage. The impact of sea sand exports will also have a negative effect in general, namely the following.
The most pronounced impact is the risk of environmental damage getting bigger, especially the environment around the marine sand mining area. The environmental damage, for example, is damaged by the marine ecosystem. The discovery of corals and fish around the mining area will certainly be quite affected. In addition, the existence of small islands in the sand mining area is threatened with drowning. Small institutions that are the source of Indonesia's wealth are threatened with being lost.
Not only will it affect the environment, but the sea sand export which is certainly accompanied by sea sand mining activities will be felt by fishermen. Environmental damage will certainly reduce the number of fish in coastal areas. Fishermen have the potential to lose their source of search.
Exports of sea sand accompanied by sea sand mining activities will leave a basin in the mining area. The basin caused the ocean current to change which led to abrasion and disruption of fishing or small boats from the surrounding community.
