The fishermen in Kupang City, East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), still cannot go to sea looking for fish due to high waves in Kupang waters as a result of the extreme weather that hit the province.
"We can't go to sea yet because the waves are still high," said Dilak, one of the fishermen quoted by Antara, Sunday, January 8.
He explained that the fishermen in Kupang City had not been to sea for two weeks due to bad weather.
According to him, strong winds and high waves in the waters of Kupang Bay caused many boats and fishing boats belonging to fishermen not to go to sea because the waves reached 1.5 to 2 meters.
"The wave height reaches two meters in the waters of Kupang Bay, it is certainly very dangerous, so many fishermen do not dare to go down to sea looking for fish," said Dilak.
He said that currently many fishing boats belonging to the fishermen were anchored at the Oeba Fishing Port, Kupang City, to take shelter during bad weather that hit the area.
Meanwhile, the Head of the Kupang City Fisheries Service, EDbends Doeka, reminded fishermen in the area to always be vigilant and not force themselves to go down to the sea to look for fish during bad weather.
"If bad weather occurs, it is better not to go to sea because it is very risky for sea accidents when high waves and strong winds occur today," said Edbends Doeka.
As a result of bad weather, he continued, fresh fish sold in Kupang City became limited.
"ships with large weights can go to sea, while boats with small tonnage certainly cannot go to sea because the waves are still high," he said.
He reminded fishermen to continue to follow the weather developments from the Kupang BMKG before going down to sea, so it is safer while working at sea.
"Information on weather developments must be a reference for fishermen to go down to sea looking for fish. If the weather is in bad condition, it should not go down to the sea," said Ejbends Dooka.
