Satpolairud together with other residents evacuated the three fishermen to the mainland safely, although one of them had to be treated at a nearby hospital.
"Earlier, we were on patrol and monitoring the weather because it was extreme. Many ships and boats were anchored because they were carried away by wind and sea waves," said Gede.
Although there were no casualties in the fisherman's shipwreck incident, as a result of the incident the loss was estimated at around Rp. 30 million, because the boat broke into two parts and the fishing gear was lost by the ocean currents.
Ship owners and boats came to the beach to tighten the anchor rope and tie the boat fast so as not to be carried away by waves or not to collide with other boats.
"We ask fishermen who will go to sea, should be postponed or bring sufficient marine security equipment, due to extreme weather," he said.
