Boats are seen on Thursday (15/2) at the fishing boat harbor (PPI) in Segara Jaya village, Tarumajaya district, Bekasi regency. The area, which is part of the Mangrove Education and Restoration Center (PRPM), offers a mangrove forest, water attractions, a fishermen’s village and a fish market.

AMBON, KOMPAS – Despite its fame as a national fishing hub, fish remains expensive in Maluku. The main reason is the minimal amount of fishing boats. A majority of local fishing boats are less than 2 gross tons and have limited seagoing range. The condition has led to non-optimal fish production across the nation, even in provincial fishing hubs.

Observations conducted on Monday (19/2) at a fishing boat harbor on Eri Beach, Ambon, showed that small boats less than 2 gross tons could only haul 90 kilograms of fish, commonly pelagic fish.
