JAKARTA - Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) Sakti Wahyu Trenggono plans to involve the Police in monitoring the ban on the export of lobster or fry.

The request was welcomed. The National Police (Polri) emphasized that they are ready to take part in supervising the export of fry. "Surely the Police are ready to support the KKP's policies," said the Head of Public Information Bureau, Police Public Relations Division, Brigadier General Rusdi Hartono, to VOI, Sunday, February 28.

However, the question of what steps will be taken in strengthening the export control sector of fry is not yet certain. Because, continued this one-star general, coordination with the KKP must be done first.

Including, the possibility of establishing a task force (task force) to be directly involved in supervision.

"The steps of the National Police will be adjusted to the form of this cooperation," he said. "That is a technical problem later in the field. It could also be a task force in which the Police, KKP, or other agencies are in place," he continued.

Previously it was reported that the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) would coordinate with the National Police regarding the ban on the export of lobster or fries. The form of coordination concerns the supervision of the prohibition.

"We will ask the police chief for help to always prevent regarding the fry (export)," said Minister Trenggono as quoted from his personal Instagram @swtrenggono, Sunday, February 28.

Trenggono emphasized that during his leadership as Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries, he would not allow anyone to export fry. In this case, only preservation is allowed.
