JAKARTA - The Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) is preparing an initial revitalization of around 20,000 hectares of ponds on the North Java Coast (Pantura) to increase the productivity of aquaculture fisheries.

"We have recorded the area of the ponds in Pantura around 78,550 hectares. For the initial phase, revitalization will begin around 20,000 hectares," said Director General of Fisheries Budi Daya KKP Tb. Haeru Rahayu at a press conference on the achievements of the marine and fisheries sector in Jakarta, Monday, quoted by Antara.

He explained that the initial stage of revitalization would be carried out in four regencies, namely Bekasi, Karawang, Subang, and Indramayu.

According to Haeru, the productivity of the ponds in the area is currently still low.

"The maximum productivity is only 0.6 tons per hectare per year," he said.

He added that the Ministry of Agriculture also prepared a pilot as part of strengthening the revitalization program, one of which was through the modeling of salt water cultivation in Karawang, West Java.

In the project, the Ministry of Forestry has completed 84 hectares in the first phase and added 230 hectares, bringing the total to 315 hectares from a potential of 400 hectares.

He said the project was prepared as a learning center or center of excellence for industrial-scale cultivation of water hyacinth.

"We want production to increase, but ecology is still maintained," said Haeru.

He emphasized that the revitalization of the Pantura pond was in line with the KKP's blue economy policy, which placed ecological and economic balance as a reference for cultivation development.

Furthermore, he said that the KKP is currently still carrying out the stages of land preparation and preparation, while the revitalization will be carried out after all of these processes and budget support are available.
