Fishery Policy

On July 11, 2017, about 10,000 fishermen staged a rally at the State Palace, Jakarta. They complained about the impacts of the current policies of the Marine Affairs and Fisheries Ministry, which they considered to be detrimental to them.

This is quite interesting because so far the policies of the Marine Affairs and Fisheries Ministry (KKP), especially during the term of Minister Susi Pudjiastuti, have been considered to be in favor of the Indonesian economy, especially for fishermen. The policies on illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing, for example, have reaped significant praise because they have been deemed to defend state sovereignty.

Environmentalists have also paid close attention to the efforts of the Marine Affairs and Fisheries Minister to preserve the environment through the prohibition of certain fishing gear.
